Measles is an infection that spreads very easily and can cause serious problems in some people. Having the MMR vaccine is the best way to prevent it.
Measles usually starts with cold-like symptoms, followed by a rash a few days later. Some people may also get small spots in their mouth.
The first symptoms of measles include:
– a high temperature
– a runny or blocked nose
– sneezing
– a cough
– red, sore, watery eyes
– spots in the mouth
