Exposed individuals should verify they’re up to date on two MMR vaccine doses and monitor for symptoms for 21 days, isolating and contacting a healthcare provider if symptoms appear. Public risk is low due to high vaccination rates, but unvaccinated individuals remain at higher risk; Virginia has 179 measles cases this year, most infections in the unvaccinated, and a Buckingham-Cumberland outbreak ended Aug. 19.
