Measles is a very contagious infection that causes a total-body skin rash and flu-like symptoms. Measles is rare in the United Kingdom thanks to widespread immunisation.

The most effective way to prevent measles is to get vaccinated. The measles vaccine is usually given as part of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. Measles can also be tested for via a swab or blood test for confirmation of disease.
