Newspaper Page TextA3 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 2019 Vancouver-area measles outbreak declared over Outbreak left 77 people sick By MOLLY HARBARGER The Oregonian The Clark County, Wash- ington, measles outbreak is ofﬁ cially over, public health authorities announced on Monday . That marks 42 days — two cycles of a measles infection — without a new case. The largest outbreak in the Northwest since measles was eliminated in 2000 and one of the larg- est in the country during a year of record-setting mea- sles cases, the outbreak cost public health authorities nearly $1 million and lasted 75 days. Between Washington state and Oregon, 77 people got sick. The outbreak also forced schools to exclude unvaccinated students and teachers, disrupted local business in the Vancouver area and prompted a public health emergency declara- tion in Washington state. Measles is a highly con- tagious virus that spreads through the air and can lin- ger for up to two hours in an enclosed area.

For every 1,000 peo- ple who get measles, one to two die. The outbreak also included two people infected in Clark County who moved to Georgia and a Vancouver-area resident who was sequestered in Hawaii when her symptoms started to show. But the bulk of the cases were concentrated in the Vancouver area, which had 71 cases. About 93% of those cases were in chil- dren under 18 years old. The majority of those were younger than 10. Nearly all were com- pletely unvaccinated. One person was hospital- ized during the outbreak. The outbreak began when an unvaccinated child brought measles to Clark County from Ukraine, which is in the midst of the largest global measles outbreak due to low vaccination rates. Public health ofﬁ - cials have not determined whether that child was the one who brought measles to Clark County and set off all the other cases and ofﬁ cials say that they might never know. “We’re grateful to see this outbreak come to an end without any deaths or seri- ous complications,” said Dr. Alan Melnick, Clark County health ofﬁ cer and public health department direc- tor. “But as long as mea- sles exists elsewhere in the world and people continue travel, we’re at risk of see- ing another outbreak. We must improve our immuni- zation rates to prevent future outbreaks and keep our chil- dren and other vulnerable people safe.” Melnick has been outspo- ken about the need to raise vaccination rates in Wash- ington, and especially Clark County. The misinformation that has fueled the decline in vac- cination rates, largely born from a debunked assertion that vaccines cause autism, seems to be as contagious as measles itself. Washington will soon have a law that eliminates all but medical exemp- tions to the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine for all school-age children who want to attend school. Ore- gon is considering a broader bill that would do the same for all vaccines. House Bill 3063 would eliminate all exemptions to vaccinations for school-age children, except for medical reasons. Parents who choose not to vaccinate their child would have to enroll them in online or home school. Here are some statistics Clark County Public Health released about the outbreak: • About 51% of people who contracted measles got it within their household — meaning from a family member.

Measles is spread through the air and can lin- ger in an enclosed place for up to two hours, mak- ing an infected person in a high-trafﬁ cked place a par- ticularly dangerous risk. • 16% got measles from a school or child care center. • Public health ofﬁ cials cannot determine where 7% of the cases came from, but said they all had the same wild European strain of measles, indicating they were linked. • 4,100 people were iden- tiﬁ ed as being exposed to measles during the course of the outbreak. ~John 13:34 NKJV Breakfast Buffet - $ 5 00 7:30 to 8:00 am (Please pay upon arrival if eating) Prayer and Song Program 8:00 to 9:00 am Contact: John Anderson • 360-269-2500 The Classical Series Presents: o ld - fashioned FUN and GAMES W agon R ides •C ontests •P Rizes s atuRday & s unday M ay 4 & 5 • 11 aM -4 PM Join the Clatsop County Historical Society for some old-fashioned family fun and games on the Flavel House Museum lawn!
