Most people are not at risk for the disease. The MMR vaccine, which protects against the measles, is required for student enrollment at Penn.

Symptoms of measles include rash, high fever, cough, runny nose and red, watery eyes. Students with symptoms are urged to seek treatment at the health center at 3535 Market Street.
