Measles Outbreak Sparks State of Emergency in Washington

The local public health emergency in the affected counties began on January 18, according to the statement, which also reminds Washington residents that "the measles vaccine is effective at preventing the disease when given prior to exposure". Other places include an Ikea, Costco and a Portland Trail Blazers game. Rep. Paul Harris, who represents Clark County, says his bill in the House is aiming to get personal exemptions off the table only when it comes to the measles. Sometimes, doctors and nurses see patients in the parking lot to avoid contamination. Symptoms usually appear 10-12 days after exposure but may appear as early as seven days and as late as 21 days after exposure. "While most people have had the measles vaccination, it's important to know your vaccination status and to be aware of the signs and symptoms of measles so you can get medical attention". Although it's not clear where he became infected, the man said he'd recently traveled to Clark County. If one sick child coughs in a room and leaves, another unvaccinated person has a 90 percent chance of catching the illness.

A measles outbreak in Washington state has health professionals from coast to coast, including in southwest Virginia, sharing the importance of vaccinations. Infected droplets from the individual with measles can spray into the air or land on a surface, where they remain active and contagious for hours.

For more information on measles, visit the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) measles webpage at www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/DISEASESCONDITIONS/DISEASESAZ/Pages/measles.aspx, or call North Central Public Health District (Wasco, Sherman & Gilliam Counties) at 541-506-2600; or the Hood River County Health Department at 541-386-1115.

Two doses of the measles vaccine protect against measles in 97% of cases, according to the CDC. "These costs could have been prevented if we had everybody vaccinated". The outlet reported that 7.9 percent of children in Clark County were exempt in the 2017-2018 school year from vaccines required for kindergarten entry, making it a hotspot for outbreaks.

Melnick blames misinformation shared on social media for the area's lower than normal rates.

"What keeps me up at night is eventually having a child die from this completely preventable situation", he said.

Disruption likely as snow and ice warning issued
It is set to be a cold week overall - with maximum temperatures of six degrees forecast on Monday and Tuesday. Large waves and slightly stronger gusts are likely to pound the east coast from 8am tofay until the evening.


That's a worry shared by many parents, especially those with newborn infants.

"The media tends to distort this", she said.

Vancouver, Wash. resident Megan Jasurda holds her 11-week old son, Tristan. I have immunity because I got the vaccine but I'm also protecting people around me due to the herd.

This is tragic news, but it shouldn't come as a surprise.

"They really didn't have a chance to go much of anywhere", Park said of the visiting, quarantined family, according to the Oregonian.

SOLOMON: For now, Jasurta and her family are avoiding crowded areas and even made a decision to delay their daughter's birthday party.
