for guidance regarding the Measles Outbreak
The centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports 940 measles cases this year, as of May 24, 2019 . Although 26 states reported measles outbreaks this year, the majority (75%) of measles cases have originated in New York State (NYS). Given the high numbers of measles cases in NYS and among international travelers both entering and returning into the USA, the Erie County Department of Health (ECDOH) is trying to prepare physician offices for a measles case, which could occur anytime.
