Measles is spreading through several states. We all need to be vigilant to prevent, diagnose, isolate, and report measles. There is no specific treatment of measles so prevention of measles is key. Prevention with vaccine, high index of suspicion, prevention with isolation and involving the department of health for contact investigation. The poster below may help as a reminder. FCAAP also has excellent resources available at fcaap.org/members/resources.
