More Measles Cases Traced to Disneyland
See some of the links below, there was a shot series given in the 60’s that proved ineffective - if you received that shot, you don’t have immunity.
If you or someone in your family hasn’t received a measles vaccine, you should strongly consider staying away from Disneyland. California public health officials say the park has been linked to a recent outbreak of the disease, and they are urging people who have not been inoculated to keep their distance.
California has been dealing with an outbreak of measles since December, and a large majority of the 59 people who have contracted the disease got it at Disneyland. According to health officials, 42 people, including five of the park’s employees, caught measles at the Southern California theme park.
State health officials have taken aggressive steps to contain the spread of the disease. Twenty-four classmates of one high school-aged patient were ordered to stay home for three weeks, the disease’s incubation period.
Yet measles is highly contagious, and the same outbreak has been cited as the cause of five cases that recently turned up in Oregon, as well as cases in three other U.S. states and Mexico.
