It should be noted that measles is a viral disease that can be prevented through vaccination, especially with high vaccination coverage. The most susceptible group to contracting this disease is young children and pregnant women who have not been vaccinated.
“Measles symptoms change as the disease develops. The first sign is a high fever that lasts between 4 and 7 days, and appears 10 to 12 days after being in contact with the virus,” the agency explains on its official accounts.
