What to do if you think you've been exposed to measles
Dig deeper:
Health officials say if you think you might have been exposed to measles, first find out if you've been vaccinated, or had measles before. Anyone who has had two doses of a measles vaccine, and those born before 1957 are "generally considered protected."
Anyone who was at the locations believed recently exposed to measles should monitor themselves for symptoms for the next three weeks. If you start to develop a fever or other measles symptoms, you should contact your healthcare provider before going to an emergency room, to figure out what the best next steps are.
Measles symptoms
Maryland health officials say some of the earliest symptoms of measles include a fever of more than 101 degrees Farenheit, a runny nose, a cough and red, watery eyes. After that, a red rash appears on the face and spreads to the rest of the body.
Other Maryland measles case
What we don't know:
Earlier this week, officials confirmed the first case of measles in Maryland this year in another Baltimore-area resident, but said that there is no known connection between the first case and these most recent two.
Officials said they haven't yet found the source of the two most recent measles cases.
