Anyone who spent time in Boston Logan Airport Terminal C between 12 - 2:30 a.m. on April 14 may have been exposed to measles. There are no other known exposure points in Boston at this time.
Unvaccinated individuals who have been exposed should contact their health care provider immediately. Unvaccinated exposed individuals need to avoid public places (school, work, public transit, stores, etc.) and monitor for symptoms for 21 days (through May 5, 2026).
It is never too late for children or adults to get the measles vaccine and for the vaccine to be effective, even if they are past the age recommended by doctors. We urge all those who do not know their measles immunization status to get vaccinated with at least one dose of the MMR vaccine. Vaccination is the best way we can protect ourselves and our community.
Health care providers who suspect measles should call their local health department or Massachusetts Department of Public Health immediately at 617-983-6800 for recommendations and testing guidance.
