Measles Exposure in Two Healthcare Offices in Maine
On April 1, 2019 Maine CDC was notified of a confirmed case of measles in an out of state resident who visited two businesses in Maine while traveling in the state on Wednesday, March 27, 2019. Individuals who have been exposed are asked to check their immunization status and monitor for symptoms. Maine clinicians are asked to increase surveillance for rash illness suggestive of measles to identify early potential cases and prevent the spread of disease. The best protection against measles is vaccination.
