*Measles cases are rising in England It spreads easily and can cause serious illness, especially in babies, pregnant people and those with weak immune systems MMR vaccination is safe and offers lifelong protection For info, visit: https://t.co/iyI0YCZ9Uz *adapted NHS post

Measles rashes can appear differently on dark or tan skin compared to light skin. It may be harder to detect early in darker skin tones without careful observation. Delayed recognition = delayed treatment, and isolation = higher risk of spread and complications. #measles
