Officials say the individual visited Terminal C at Logan Airport and the BPHC, in addition to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH), are working to establish these and notify those that could have been uncovered.

“This case of measles underscores the continued importance of obtaining the MMR vaccine. The MMR vaccine is highly effective at preventing measles infection and also protects against mumps and rubella. This vaccine is the best tool we have to protect ourselves and our communities from serious illness,” mentioned Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, Commissioner of Public Health for the City of Boston. “Children should receive the vaccine at 12-15 months of age and again before kindergarten to ensure strong immunity. It is never too late for children or adults to get the measles vaccine, and for the vaccine to be effective, even if they are past the age recommended by doctors. As measles cases continue to surge across our country, we should all ensure that we are vaccinated to prevent spread and serious illness.”
There are not any different recognized publicity factors in Boston presently.
