Measles exposure risk assessment tool
Public health follows up directly with known contacts of measles cases.
The list of exposure locations below includes settings where public health is unable to identify and contact everyone who may have been exposed. There may be additional community settings where exposures have occurred. Immunization is the best way to prevent measles.
If you may have been exposed,
monitor for symptoms of measles and use the measles exposure risk assessment tool to determine your next steps. People who are most at risk of infection are those who are completely unvaccinated against the disease, including children under one year of age.
