There is currently a large measles outbreak in Upstate South Carolina, and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has reported multiple measles cases across North Carolina. Limited community spread is now being seen in parts of our region.

At this time, there are NO confirmed measles cases in Haywood County.
However, because neighboring counties are reporting cases, Haywood Health and Human Services is taking proactive steps to help protect our community.

*Why this matters*

Measles is very contagious. If someone who is not immune is exposed, they may be required to stay home (quarantine) for 21 days after their last exposure to help prevent further spread.

Measles is a viral respiratory illness, with symptoms typically appearing 7–14 days after exposure. Common symptoms include:

• Fever
• Cough
• Runny nose
• Red, watery eyes
• A rash that usually begins on the face 3–5 days after symptoms start and then spreads to the rest of the body

Anyone who believes they may have measles should seek medical care immediately — but do not walk into a medical facility without calling ahead. This will help reduce the spread.

*What you can do right now*

• Check your vaccine records to confirm you’ve had at least one MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine
• If you’re unsure, talk with your healthcare provider about testing for immunity (a simple blood test)
• If you recently moved to North Carolina, contact your previous doctor or health department to request your vaccine records
• Consider getting vaccinated if you’re not sure of your status

Finding records can take time, so we strongly encourage residents to start now. If exposure occurs, proof of immunity is one of the first things public health officials will ask for.

*MMR Vaccine Available Locally*

Haywood County Health & Human Services offers the MMR vaccine:

-Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
-Walk-ins welcome or call 828-452-6675 to schedule an appointment.

Haywood public health officials encourage everyone to stay informed, ensure vaccinations are up to date, and help prevent the spread of measles.

Taking these steps today helps protect you, your family, and our neighbors tomorrow.

Over the years, she has worn many hats, working as a Medical Assistant before moving into Medical Records, where she currently works alongside handling prior authorizations.

No matter the role, Heather always brings a positive attitude and a smile to everyone she meets. If you see her, be sure to let her know how much she is appreciated!
