🧬Measles Outbreak🧬
Austin Public Health (APH) is monitoring the ongoing measles outbreak in Texas. We encourage staff and families to be aware of the symptoms and take preventive measures.
🔹 Measles is highly contagious and spreads through coughing, sneezing, or contact with infected surfaces.
🔹 Symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose, red/watery eyes, and a red rash that spreads from the face downward.
🔹 Vaccination is the best protection—two doses of the MMR vaccine are 97% effective in preventing measles.
Families must ensure your child’s immunizations are up to date. If you suspect measles or exposure, contact your healthcare provider before visiting.
To get vaccinated, people can go to their health care provider or a pharmacy. Vaccines are also available through the Texas Vaccines for Children and Adult Safety Net Providers. Use the maps located on the measles outbreak page to locate a TVFC or ASN provider. Pharmacies can vaccinate people 14 and older without a prescription. Children under 14 need a prescription to get the MMR vaccine at a pharmacy.
For more information, visit the Texas DSHS Health Alerts.
