What to do if exposed:
Lewis and Clark Public Health (LCPH) is conducting a follow-up investigation to identify the likely exposed individuals. Depending on the contact information available, LCPH will notify those individuals and provide further instructions by phone call, text message, and/or letter.
Some individuals who are at higher risk for severe measles illness may be recommended to receive preventive treatment following an exposure to measles. If you believe you or your family were exposed to measles in any of the above locations, please contact your healthcare provider immediately to discuss your options for preventive treatment.
If you think you may have been exposed but do not receive notice from LCPH within the following several days, please complete the Measles Exposure Self-Referral Form on our website

The first symptoms of measles usually appear about 7-14 days after exposure: fever, cough, runny nose, red watery eyes, and/or white spots in the mouth. A red, flat rash—usually beginning near the hairline and moving downward—typically begins about 3-5 days after the first symptoms. Please call (406) 457-8910 (LCPH office) for more information.
You are presumed to have immunity to measles if you have: written vaccination documentation for measles, mumps and reubella; laboratory evidence of immunity or were born before 1957.
