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. Nine out
of 10 unvaccinated people
who are exposed to the virus

rubella (MMR), at the International Community Health
Services in Seattle.
will contract it, according to
the federal Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Preven-
tion. 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.

• 25% got measles from
a public location, such as a
grocery store, retail shop or
church. 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.
