Measles alert at RDU: What travelers need to know

A recent measles case passed through Raleigh-Durham International Airport’s Terminal 2 last week, raising concerns for anyone who was there early on Dec. 10. Even though there’s no ongoing risk at RDU, measles is extremely contagious and can linger in the air for hours. If you or your family were at Terminal 2 between 4 and 8 a.m. that day, keep an eye out for symptoms like high fever, cough, or rash through Jan. 1. This is a good reminder to double-check your MMR vaccine status—especially with cases on the rise nationwide. How do you feel about vaccination and travel safety right now? #News #RDU #Measles
