Dear Friends and Neighbors, The Westchester County Health Department urges residents to check their own vaccination status and protect themselves and their unvaccinated children from measles by getting the MMR vaccine from their provider or a special county clinic. To reserve a spot at one of these health department MMR clinics, go to http://www.health.ny.gov/
Measles is a highly contagious virus that causes fever, rash, cough, runny nose and red, watery eyes. Tiny white spots may appear in the mouth and a rash may appear on the body two to four days after symptoms begin. Complications can include hearing loss, pneumonia, swelling of the brain and death. Measles is so contagious that when exposed, nine of 10 people who are not immune will also become sick from the virus. Without knowing they are sick, an infected person can spread measles to others up to four days before the rash appears, and for up to four days afterwards. For more information, call the NYS Measles Hotline at 1-888-364-4837. Sincerely, |
