The first dose of the vaccine is due at 12 months of age, and the second dose at preschool age, 4-5 years of age.\nThe National Immunisation Advisory Committee recommends that if you are travelling with an infant between 6-11 months of age to countries and regions where measles outbreaks are reported, you should arrange for the infant to receive the recommended MMR vaccine.\nIf your child receives a dose before they are 12 months of age, you must ensure that they still receive the usual dose at 12 months of age. Receiving an early dose of the MMR vaccine does not replace the 12 months old dose.\nOlder children or young adults who are not vaccinated should speak with their GP about getting the vaccine.\nBack to top\nWhat if I get measles while abroad?\nIf you or a family member is showing some of the following symptoms, this may indicate the development of measles:\na runny or blocked nose, watery eyes, swollen eyelids and sneezing\nred eyes and sensitivity to light\na mild to severe temperature or fever\nsmall greyish-white spots in the mouth and throat\ntiredness, irritability and general lack of energy\naches and pains\npoor appetite\ndry cough\nred or brown spotty rash (this normally appears 2-4 days after the onset of the other symptoms).\nIf you or your child have been exposed to measles and you are not already immune, there is a high risk that you will develop measles. If you believe you or a family member has measles, you should visit your doctor, or a doctor in the country you are visiting. Be sure to inform the GP surgery before your visit of your symptoms as they may need to make arrangements to reduce the risk of spreading the infection.\nIf you or your child has measles, you will not be able to fly until at least five days after the rash has appeared and you are well enough to travel. You should inform your airline as soon as measles is diagnosed.\nYou should let your travel insurer know if you or your child have had measles or been exposed to measles. You need to make sure that the insurer will cover you if you have to delay or cancel your holiday, or if you need to extend your stay until your child is well enough to fly home.\nFor further information on the measles virus, please visit the\nHSE's website\n. You can also look for updates on the disease before you travel via the\nHPSC\nand the\nEuropean Centre for Disease Prevention and Control\nwebsites.\nBack to top","attrs_markdown":"[Skip to main content](https:\/\/www.ireland.ie\/en\/dfa\/overseas-travel\/know-before-you-go\/measles-advice\/#main-content)\n\nAn official website of the Government of Ireland.

Further advice on measles and the MMR vaccination is available from the following organisations:\n\n[**WHO Travel Advice on vaccines**](https:\/\/www.who.int\/travel-advice\/vaccines)\n\n[**European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control**](https:\/\/www.ecdc.europa.eu\/en\/measles)\n\n[**Health Protection Surveillance Centre**](https:\/\/www.hpsc.ie\/a-z\/vaccinepreventable\/measles\/)\n\n[**National Immunisation Office**](https:\/\/www.hse.ie\/eng\/health\/immunisation\/)\n\n[Back to top](https:\/\/www.ireland.ie\/en\/dfa\/overseas-travel\/know-before-you-go\/measles-advice\/#top)\n\n## Prevention\nThe best way to protect yourself and your family from getting measles is to be vaccinated with the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine.\n\nIf you are a parent, you should not delay getting the MMR vaccination for your child when it is due. The first dose of the vaccine is due at 12 months of age, and the second dose at preschool age, 4-5 years of age.\n\nThe National Immunisation Advisory Committee recommends that if you are travelling with an infant between 6-11 months of age to countries and regions where measles outbreaks are reported, you should arrange for the infant to receive the recommended MMR vaccine.\n\nIf your child receives a dose before they are 12 months of age, you must ensure that they still receive the usual dose at 12 months of age. Receiving an early dose of the MMR vaccine does not replace the 12 months old dose.\n\nOlder children or young adults who are not vaccinated should speak with their GP about getting the vaccine.\n\n[Back to top](https:\/\/www.ireland.ie\/en\/dfa\/overseas-travel\/know-before-you-go\/measles-advice\/#top)\n\n## What if I get measles while abroad?\nIf you or a family member is showing some of the following symptoms, this may indicate the development of measles:\n\n- a runny or blocked nose, watery eyes, swollen eyelids and sneezing\n- red eyes and sensitivity to light\n- a mild to severe temperature or fever\n- small greyish-white spots in the mouth and throat\n- tiredness, irritability and general lack of energy\n- aches and pains\n- poor appetite\n- dry cough\n- red or brown spotty rash (this normally appears 2-4 days after the onset of the other symptoms).\n\nIf you or your child have been exposed to measles and you are not already immune, there is a high risk that you will develop measles. If you believe you or a family member has measles, you should visit your doctor, or a doctor in the country you are visiting. Be sure to inform the GP surgery before your visit of your symptoms as they may need to make arrangements to reduce the risk of spreading the infection.\n\nIf you or your child has measles, you will not be able to fly until at least five days after the rash has appeared and you are well enough to travel. You should inform your airline as soon as measles is diagnosed.\n\nYou should let your travel insurer know if you or your child have had measles or been exposed to measles. You need to make sure that the insurer will cover you if you have to delay or cancel your holiday, or if you need to extend your stay until your child is well enough to fly home.\n\nFor further information on the measles virus, please visit the [**HSE's website**](https:\/\/www2.hse.ie\/conditions\/measles\/).

Boilerpipe Text	Back to top Prevention The best way to protect yourself and your family from getting measles is to be vaccinated with the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine. If you are a parent, you should not delay getting the MMR vaccination for your child when it is due. The first dose of the vaccine is due at 12 months of age, and the second dose at preschool age, 4-5 years of age. The National Immunisation Advisory Committee recommends that if you are travelling with an infant between 6-11 months of age to countries and regions where measles outbreaks are reported, you should arrange for the infant to receive the recommended MMR vaccine. If your child receives a dose before they are 12 months of age, you must ensure that they still receive the usual dose at 12 months of age. Receiving an early dose of the MMR vaccine does not replace the 12 months old dose. Older children or young adults who are not vaccinated should speak with their GP about getting the vaccine. Back to top What if I get measles while abroad? If you or a family member is showing some of the following symptoms, this may indicate the development of measles: a runny or blocked nose, watery eyes, swollen eyelids and sneezing red eyes and sensitivity to light a mild to severe temperature or fever small greyish-white spots in the mouth and throat tiredness, irritability and general lack of energy aches and pains poor appetite dry cough red or brown spotty rash (this normally appears 2-4 days after the onset of the other symptoms). If you or your child have been exposed to measles and you are not already immune, there is a high risk that you will develop measles. If you believe you or a family member has measles, you should visit your doctor, or a doctor in the country you are visiting. Be sure to inform the GP surgery before your visit of your symptoms as they may need to make arrangements to reduce the risk of spreading the infection. If you or your child has measles, you will not be able to fly until at least five days after the rash has appeared and you are well enough to travel. You should inform your airline as soon as measles is diagnosed. You should let your travel insurer know if you or your child have had measles or been exposed to measles. You need to make sure that the insurer will cover you if you have to delay or cancel your holiday, or if you need to extend your stay until your child is well enough to fly home. For further information on the measles virus, please visit the HSE's website . You can also look for updates on the disease before you travel via the HPSC and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control websites. Back to top

Citizens travelling to countries or regions experiencing outbreaks are advised to ensure their vaccination status is up to date before travel. Further advice on measles and the MMR vaccination is available from the following organisations: [WHO Travel Advice on vaccines](https://www.who.int/travel-advice/vaccines) [European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control](https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/measles) [Health Protection Surveillance Centre](https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/vaccinepreventable/measles/) [National Immunisation Office](https://www.hse.ie/eng/health/immunisation/) [Back to top](https://www.ireland.ie/en/dfa/overseas-travel/know-before-you-go/measles-advice/#top) ## Prevention The best way to protect yourself and your family from getting measles is to be vaccinated with the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine. If you are a parent, you should not delay getting the MMR vaccination for your child when it is due. The first dose of the vaccine is due at 12 months of age, and the second dose at preschool age, 4-5 years of age. The National Immunisation Advisory Committee recommends that if you are travelling with an infant between 6-11 months of age to countries and regions where measles outbreaks are reported, you should arrange for the infant to receive the recommended MMR vaccine. If your child receives a dose before they are 12 months of age, you must ensure that they still receive the usual dose at 12 months of age. Receiving an early dose of the MMR vaccine does not replace the 12 months old dose. Older children or young adults who are not vaccinated should speak with their GP about getting the vaccine. [Back to top](https://www.ireland.ie/en/dfa/overseas-travel/know-before-you-go/measles-advice/#top) ## What if I get measles while abroad? If you or a family member is showing some of the following symptoms, this may indicate the development of measles: - a runny or blocked nose, watery eyes, swollen eyelids and sneezing - red eyes and sensitivity to light - a mild to severe temperature or fever - small greyish-white spots in the mouth and throat - tiredness, irritability and general lack of energy - aches and pains - poor appetite - dry cough - red or brown spotty rash (this normally appears 2-4 days after the onset of the other symptoms). If you or your child have been exposed to measles and you are not already immune, there is a high risk that you will develop measles. If you believe you or a family member has measles, you should visit your doctor, or a doctor in the country you are visiting. Be sure to inform the GP surgery before your visit of your symptoms as they may need to make arrangements to reduce the risk of spreading the infection. If you or your child has measles, you will not be able to fly until at least five days after the rash has appeared and you are well enough to travel. You should inform your airline as soon as measles is diagnosed. You should let your travel insurer know if you or your child have had measles or been exposed to measles. You need to make sure that the insurer will cover you if you have to delay or cancel your holiday, or if you need to extend your stay until your child is well enough to fly home. For further information on the measles virus, please visit the [HSE's website](https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/measles/). You can also look for updates on the disease before you travel via the [HPSC](https://www.hpsc.ie/) and the [European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control](https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en) websites.
