Measles
Jen Trebian, RN BSN
Public Health Nurse
Public health nursing is all about promoting and protecting the health of our communities in which we live. Illinois and the states that border us have been identified as states that have experienced a Measles outbreak. Measles is a serious, highly contagious respiratory disease that is caused by a virus. A simple cough, sneeze, or direct contact with an infected individual could be the cause of your potential exposure. Symptoms include a fever of 101°F or higher, cough, runny nose or red eyes and a generalized rash that starts on the head around the hairline and moves down the body, lasting 3 or more days.
I would like to urge everyone to verify if they have received all the necessary measles vaccinations and take the steps to get vaccinated if not. Please note that you are considered immune if you meet any of the following identified criteria 1) were born before 1957, 2) have 2 documented doses of MMR vaccine, 3) have laboratory evidence of immunity, 4) have evidence of a previous lab-confirmed measles infection. The typical recommended first dose of the MMR vaccine is between 12-15 months of age and the second dose between the ages of 4 and 6; most commonly before entry into kindergarten.
Information has been shared with our county’s hospital, clinics, schools, and daycares but information also needs to reach the general public as well. The best way for our communities to stay healthy in response to measles is through vaccination. If you have any questions and/or concerns please feel free to reach out to the Jo Daviess County Health Department’s Clinical Services Department at 815-777-0263 ext. 531. Stay Healthy!
