🚨 HEALTH ALERT: MEASLES CASE REPORTED LOCALLY 🚨

A confirmed measles case was recently reported in the Nashville/Middle Tennessee area. Tennessee health officials have urged residents to be aware of symptoms and make sure they are protected.

Common symptoms of measles include:
🌡️ High fever
🤧 Cough
👃 Runny nose
👀 Red, watery eyes
🔴 A red, blotchy rash that often begins on the face and spreads to the rest of the body

Measles is highly contagious and can spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The MMR vaccine is the best protection against measles.

👉 Check your vaccination records and make sure you and your children are up to date on MMR vaccination.

⚠️ If you develop symptoms or believe you have been exposed, call your healthcare provider BEFORE going to the office, urgent care, or ER. This allows the facility to take precautions to protect other patients and staff.

Let's work together to keep our families and community healthy! ❤️
