Measles symptoms don’t appear immediately after exposure. Illness often starts with typical respiratory symptoms and eventually a rash develops.
Measles symptoms appear 7-14 days after contact with the virus and typically include a high fever, cough, runny nose, and watery eyes. Measles rash appears 3-5 days AFTER the first symptoms.
Call your healthcare provider immediately if you think you or your child have been exposed.
Call ahead before visiting a healthcare setting to be evaluated for measles.
