Galveston County Health District additionally confirmed a case involving a boy whose age ranges from 12 to 24 months outdated.

"These individuals did everything right", said Jennifer Vines, M.D., deputy health officer with Multnomah County.

The CDC says there have been 79 cases of measles so far this year in the states that reported data, and it's only February.

And, the Pan American Health Organization, the World Health Organization and other news sources reported significant increases in measles cases during the week ending February 2, 2019. However, there are 11 people who display symptoms of measles and are awaiting the results of blood work to confirm the diagnosis.

Clark County also reported three new exposure sites, all of which are medical facilities in Vancouver - the Vancouver Clinic Salmon Creek, the Sea Mar Medical Clinic Salmon Creek and the Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center Emergency Department. One day without a new measles case might seem an indicator of hope the outbreak is over, but it unfortunately doesn't necessarily indicate the end. About 1 out of 4 people who get measles will be hospitalized. Residents born prior to 1957 are considered immune to measles but those born in 1957 or after should verify vaccination history.

Grizzlies take next step in rebuilding, trading Marc Gasol
Now the Bucks will be one of just two teams to have at least three players who attempt a minimum of six three-pointers per game. First reported by ESPN, the Grizzlies are sending Gasol to Toronto for Jonas Valenciunas, Delon Wright , C.J.

Measles is a highly contagious, airborne virus that can be spread through coughing and sneezing.

These worldwide travelers then spread measles upon their return, which cause outbreaks in the USA. Symptoms are a high fever, runny nose, cough, sore throat and red, watery eyes followed by a rash breakout three to five days after symptoms begin. The Houston Chronicle reports health officials were told the four children who fell ill had received their first of two measles vaccines.

"While this is a relatively small number of cases, it's a good time to make sure you and your children have gotten the recommended two doses of measles vaccine", Van Deusen said.

Dr. Patrick Ludke says people in OR are at risk because the vaccination rate is not as good as it could be for measles. Measles is prevented through the combination MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine.
