Call NHS 111 or your GP for advice
Stay home until 4 days after the rash appears.
Rest, fluids, and paracetamol/ibuprofen can help ease symptoms.
Infants, pregnant women, and people with weak immune systems should seek urgent medical advice.
Everyday tips that might help
Check you and your child's vaccination history to find out if you are protected - this information can be found in your child's Red Book and/or GP records
Get both doses of the MMR vaccine - there is no upper age limit
If exposed, seek medical advice quickly - vaccination within 3 days may still provide some protection against serious illness
Share accurate information, not rumours.
Participate in community or school vaccination clinics.
