Measles is a highly infectious disease that can lead to serious problems in some people such as pneumonia, meningitis, and on rare occasions, long-term disability or death. Symptoms include a high fever, sore red watery eyes and a blotchy red-brown rash, and it is particularly easy to catch in environments when in close contact with others.
Measles is not a seasonal/winter illness but there have been recent, localised outbreaks.
Having two doses of the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccine is the best way to prevent it.
