-Continued from PAGE ONE
child care center, the pub-
lic health department will
review all staff and student
vaccination records to de-
termine the risk of further
spread.
-Keeping children in
school/child care is a prior-
ity, but measles is a serious
disease. If an unvaccinat-
ed person is exposed to
measles, they will not be
allowed to go to school or
child care during the time
period when they could
become sick, usually for 21
days after exposure. This
may be extended if there are
more measles cases.
-People excluded from
school or child care after
a measles exposure are
asked to stay home to avoid
exposing others in the com-
munity.
-Now is a great time
for all families, teachers
and school administrators
to review their vaccine re-
cords and get their vaccines
up to date.
Anyone with questions
about measles infection or
the measles vaccine should
call their primary care pro-
vider or their local county
health department. The
Morrow County Health
Department can be reached
at 541-676-5421.

a mistake.

will be placed in the “Pot
