Measles Update for the El Paso and Fort Bliss Community!

Your health is our #1 priority. Our Army Public Health professionals are working closely with the City of El Paso Department of Public Health after measles cases were confirmed in El Paso.

The El Paso Public Health Department published locations of potential exposure, listed at:https://www.elpasotexas.gov/assets/Press-Releases/2026.02.26-NEWS-RELEASE_Health-Officials-Advise-of-Potential-Measles-Exposures.pdf

Here is what you need to know to keep your family safe:

1. CHECK YOUR VACCINATION STATUS! We urge everyone to confirm you’ve had TWO doses of the MMR vaccine.
Not fully vaccinated? It’s time for a shot! You can get vaccinated at your primary care clinic or network pharmacy. Please call ahead to check if the vaccine is available. You can also call the WBAMC appointment line at 915-742-2273.
Fully vaccinated but been exposed? Keep a close eye on your health and monitor for symptoms for the next 21 days.

2. KNOW THE SYMPTOMS! Be on the lookout for:
- Fever over 101 degrees Fahrenheit
- Cough
- Red, watery eyes
- A rash that starts on the face and spreads down the body.

3. WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS? If you or a family member experiences these symptoms, please CALL your primary care provider for evaluation and testing. If a rash appears, health officials recommend isolating at home to prevent further spread. Remember, symptoms can appear up to 21 days after you’ve been around someone with measles.

Important: If you need to be seen in person, please call the clinic or hospital before you go so they can be ready for your arrival.

For any life-threating symptoms, go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
Stay safe and healthy!
