Seen via Facebook from a friend who also has a baby boy too young to have made it through the full MMR schedule.PHOENIX --An unvaccinated person who has measles may have spread the disease around portions of the Valley, Maricopa County Health Officials said Wednesday.
"Measles is the most contagious disease known to man, which is why when we find one case, we must act quickly to identify additional cases and stop the outbreak as soon as possible," said Dr. Bob England, director of Maricopa County Department of Public Health, in a release.
The individual, who has not been identified, visited several areas in the Valley. Anyone who was at the following locations at the following times is asked to monitor themselves and call their health care provider if they notice anything out of the ordinary.
• March 29: Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport Terminal 4 from 6:30 p.m. until 10 p.m.
• March 30: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Cave Creek Chapel, 38008 N. Basin Road in Cave Creek (Cave Creek, Desert Ridge and Pinnacle Peak Wards) from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m.
• March 31: Wildflower Bread Company, 15640 N. Hayden Road in Scottsdale from noon until 5 p.m.
• March 31: Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport Terminal 4 from 3 p.m until 7 p.m.
Sky Harbor? Really? And I've been to that Wildflower Bread Company. It's the kind of place I'd consider kid-friendly enough to take the kiddo to, and this person was there possibly spreading measles for 5 hours. That's not the kind of news I'd want to receive if I'd been there with the boy.
Argh, why won't these people Darwin themselves without exposing everyone else's kids in the process?
