Baby's father had measles
Hello,
My husband was diagnosed with measles on 1st jan, but myself and baby had already moved to my native on 27th dec.. so we had no contact but on 30th we stayed there together for few of hours but not in close proximity.
My baby is 5months old so I am little scared about the exposure. Is there anything myself and my baby had to do (prevention). My in-laws and parents got exposed to him. but we are away from them all.
Note: I did not have measles in childhood and no data if I got vaccine .

Nothing needs to be done right now...as exposure duration is quite less, there are very low chances of the child developing measles
