The Kentucky Department for Public Health has issued a measles health alert in Kentucky.
Four measles cases have been identified in Kentucky last week. Three of the cases reside in the same household in Woodford County. The fourth is from Todd County and was exposed to measles during international travel and is thought to be unrelated to the other cases. All four cases were unvaccinated against measles. These investigations are ongoing and there are likely to be community exposures. Please see the following materials for your use and dissemination:
