A case of measles has been confirmed in an Orange County resident, an unvaccinated toddler who by report has not traveled outside of the area or had known exposures. This case is not linked to the other measles case reported in a traveler due to the timing of illness. The OC Health Care Agency’s (HCA) Communicable Disease Control Division (CDCD) is reaching out to all identified contacts. No exposures in public locations have been identified.
Providers should increase their suspicion for measles in those with fever and rash illness and remember to report suspect cases to CDCD immediately at 714-834-8180. More info...
