Health officials said four residents were 'exposed to an unimmunized, international visitor who was infectious with measles.'
Health officials said anyone who is not immunized against measles or is unsure of their immunization status who were at the locations identified is at risk of developing measles between 7 and 21 days after exposure.
If anyone who is an infant, pregnant, not immunized or has a weakened immune system was at these locations, they should contact their health care provider as soon as possible about possible exposure to the measles virus. Los Angeles County health officer Muntu Davis said:"For those who are not protected, measles is a highly contagious and potentially severe disease that initially causes fever, cough, red, watery eyes and, finally, a rash.
