Measles can be prevented by being vaccinated with the Rubella (MMR) Vaccine. People who have already had measles are normally immune and they are unlikely to get it again. People who are not immune should consider the measles vaccine.
It is highly recommended that one is Vaccinated! The Measles virus can be deadly if not. In the United States, the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is routinely given at 12 to 15 months of age, followed by a booster shot before entering school at the age of 4 to 6 years.Newborns carry their mother's immunity for a few months after birth if their mothers are immune, but sometimes the vaccine is recommended before the age of 12 months, and as early as 6 months.

Mild fever of 102 F (38.9 C) or lower

Headache

Stuffy or runny nose

Inflamed, red eyes

Enlarged, tender lymph nodes at the base of the skull, the back of the neck and behind the ears

A fine, pink rash that begins on the face and quickly spreads to the trunk and then the arms and legs, before disappearing in the same sequence

Aching joints, especially in young women
