With the Oklahoma State Department of Health reporting multiple cases of measles in March 2025, it’s essential to take preventative measures for yourself and your community.
Also known as rubeola, measles is a highly contagious virus that spreads easily. According to the CDC, symptoms typically appear 7-14 days after exposure and may include:
- High fever (may rise to above 104 degrees)
- Rash
- Runny nose (coryza)
- Red, watery eyes (conjunctivitis)
- Cough
The Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine offers long-lasting protection against all strains and is designed to be safe and effective. You can read more about the vaccine at the CDC’s website here.
