Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) officials yesterday issued a measles alert for anyone in attendance at last week's Super Bowl Village festivities in downtown Indianapolis, Ind.
An individual infected with measles visited the Super Bowl Village on Friday but did not go inside the NFL Experience event, according to officials at the Indiana State Department of Health.
Most people in the United States have been vaccinated against the disease.
Individuals who may have been exposed at the Super Bowl Village should look for symptoms beginning approximately Feb. 13. Symptoms of measles may include fever, cough, runny nose, red, watery eyes and eventually a red, blotchy rash.
Individuals who suspect that they may have been exposed should contact the Massachusetts DPH immediately for further guidance at 617-983-6800.
