          Measles often begins with fever (over 101), cough, runny nose, and red eyes. After a few days of fever, a rash may appear, usually starting on the face and spreading downward.
         &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

          Under routine circumstances, the MMR vaccine is recommended at 12 months, with a second dose given starting at 4 years of age. If local measles activity increases, we will share any updated guidance in coordination with the local health department.
