Health officials warn that measles is one of the most contagious viruses in the world.\u00a0 An estimated 90 percent of unvaccinated people who are exposed will become infected.\u00a0 Transmission can occur simply by being in the same room as an infected person, up to two hours after they have left\u2014often before they even show a rash.<\/p>\n
Symptoms typically develop 10 to 12 days after exposure, but can appear as early as seven days and as late as 21 days.\u00a0 Severe complications, including pneumonia, encephalitis, and even death, can occur in unvaccinated individuals.<\/p>\n
