Universal Studios Hollywood is warning visitors about a possible measles exposure after an infected person visited the theme park last Saturday. According to public health officials, the individual was at the park between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m., creating a potential exposure window for guests and employees. Anyone who was at Universal Studios during that time is urged to verify they are vaccinated against measles and contact a healthcare provider if they are pregnant, have an infant, are immunocompromised, or have not been vaccinated. Health officials also advise anyone who develops symptoms to stay home and call a medical provider before seeking treatment to help prevent further spread of the virus. Measles symptoms typically appear several days after exposure and may include fever, cough, a runny nose, red and watery eyes, and a distinctive rash. Officials say vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent measles infection and reduce community transmission.
