About this course

Measles has re-emerged in recent years despite prior elimination in the United States. Declining vaccination rates and increase global travel are the main contributors for this. Measles is a highly contagious viral illness and can be transmitted before classic symptoms are recognized. Adding to this are delayed identification and isolation in healthcare settings. Thereby increasing the risk of rapid spread. The purpose of this course is to address identification, management, and prevention of measles using evidence-based guidance.
