Measles remains a common disease in many parts of the world, including Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the Pacific and Africa. Recent measles outbreaks in many U.S. states have further sparked concern about the risk to Alaskans. International travel, travel outside of Alaska within the United States, and contact with travelers can pose a risk for exposure to measles.
