Think measles Posted or Updated on 23 Jan 2024

It's not just a kids' problem

Teenagers, young adults and anyone who has missed their MMR vaccination can get measles.

Symptoms such as:

• high fever
• rash – sometimes starting around the ears
• sore red eyes
• cough
• aching and feeling unwell

Remember, if it could be measles – they need to be in an area where they cannot pass the infection to vulnerable patients such as the immunocompromised and pregnant women.
