Be in the know - Measles isn't just a little rash

If you suspect that you may have measles, please call our clinic at 503.725.2800 and ask to speak with a nurse. Do not arrive at the clinic without calling first, as measles is highly contagious and special precautions are needed to protect other patients and staff.

Symptoms include: Fever, cough, watery and pink eyes, rash (starts on your head and neck, usually with a high fever over 101.5), and runny nose.

Interested in getting the MMR vaccine at SHAC? Please call our main line 503.725.2800 for more information.
