Measles is very contagious and can be serious, especially for young children. Measles is easily spread when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes. Almost all people who have not been vaccinated contract measles if they are exposed to the measles virus.
The department urges everyone to check their own vaccination records and those of their children to make sure they are fully immunized.
