Measles outbreak linked to high school grows
Health authorities are tracking a measles outbreak connected to a high school that continues to expand. The outbreak's growth suggests additional cases are being confirmed among students or their close contacts, prompting public health officials to urge vaccination checks and caution anyone who may have been exposed to monitor for symptoms.
Why now: Measles outbreaks raise alarm because the disease is highly contagious and resurgent where vaccination rates have slipped.
