Measles is a very contagious and highly infectious disease. It is important to make sure you and your family are protected by getting the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. The side effects from MMR are similar to many vaccines and are usually mild and brief including soreness or swelling at the injection site, a low-grade fever and a mild rash. Some of the measles symptoms to look out for include a cough, runny nose, red and bloodshot eyes, sore throat, high fever or a rash. Dr. Mike Gut
