District News ~
Possible Community Spread of Measles
Immunization Requirements
| |
|
There has been a rise in measles cases nationally and also in Minnesota. Measles is a very contagious airborne illness and is highly preventable through vaccination. Initial symptoms of measles include a high fever, cough, runny nose and watery eyes followed by a rash that typically spreads from the head to the rest of the body. It generally takes eight to 12 days from exposure to someone with measles to develop the first symptoms, which are usually runny nose, cough or red eyes, followed by a fever. The measles rash usually appears two to three days after the fever begins.
The best way to prevent measles is the MMR vaccine. Children routinely get their first dose of the MMR vaccine at 12-15 months of age, and the second dose before beginning kindergarten. This combination is about 97 percent effective in preventing measles. The MMR vaccine has a long established history of being safe and effective.
A child in Minnesota is not required to have an immunization that is against their parent or guardian’s beliefs. However, choosing not to vaccinate may put the health or life of your child or others they come in contact with at risk. Students who have not been vaccinated with the MMR vaccine and have been near someone with measles will be asked to remain home per the public health recommendation of 21 days, to help limit further spread of disease.
Additional information about measles and the MMR vaccine can be found on the MDH website at Measles (Rubeola) Basics, including translations in Hmong, Somali, and Spanish.
