    • Cough

    • Runny nose

    • Rash breaks out 3-5 days after symptoms begin



    Measles Can Be Serious

    About 1 out of 4 people who get measles will be hospitalized.

    1 out of every 1,000 people with measles will develop brain swelling (encephalitis), which may lead to brain damage.

    1 or 2 out of 1,000 people with measles will die, even with the best care.



    You Have the Power to Protect Your Child.

    Provide your children with safe and long-lasting protection against measles by making sure they get the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine according to CDC’s recommended immunization schedule.
