Victoria is on a measles alert as of last week.

Many people may have been exposed to the virus between Saturday March 3 and Wednesday March 7 in a large number of city and rural locations.

Dean Arcuri spoke to Deputy Chief Health Officer Dr Brett Sutton about the alert, and why people need to be vaccinated.

Places where you can get help if you think you are showing symptoms are your doctor or an emergency department.
