Measles is a highly contagious virus that can present grave health issues, especially for children under 5, and can remain airborne for hours.
Symptoms of measles include a high fever that can exceed 104 degrees, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a characteristic rash that spreads from the face.
The New Jersey Department of Health confirmed a measles case linked to international travel and urged residents to ensure they are vaccinated against the virus.
Approximately 90% of unvaccinated individuals exposed to measles will contract the disease, highlighting the importance of MMR vaccination.
