If you visited any listed location during the specified dates and times, please follow these steps:
- Talk to your healthcare provider to check if you have immunity to measles. People who are not vaccinated against measles, have not previously had measles, or who are immunocompromised, are especially vulnerable to becoming infected. If you are not immune to measles, a healthcare provider can determine whether you need time-sensitive treatment to help prevent or lessen the severity of infection. If you do not have a healthcare provider, please contact ADH at 1-866-940-7568.
- If you are not immune to measles, staying at home can help prevent the spread of measles. If you cannot remain home, please stay away from public gatherings and people that might be susceptible to measles, including those who are unvaccinated, pregnant women, infants, or people who are immunocompromised.
- Watch for symptoms. Monitor yourself for 21 days after your exposure. Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose, red watery eyes (conjunctivitis), and rash. If symptoms develop, contact your healthcare provider and please stay away from others. If you need medical care, call your healthcare provider ahead of time and let them know you may have been exposed to measles so that they can take any necessary steps to protect other exposures. If you do not have a healthcare provider, contact ADH at 1-866-940-7568.
