An alert has been issued in Chicago due to a rise in measles cases across the city. The latest update reveals that five more infections have been confirmed at a migrant shelter, leading to quarantine measures being implemented. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (C.D.C) has been called in to provide assistance in managing the situation.
The city's health commissioner has emphasized the importance of vaccination, particularly for those who have not received the measles vaccine. The commissioner stated, 'Because of how contagious measles is, I anticipate seeing more cases.' This warning comes as four out of the five new cases were identified in Chicago's largest migrant shelter.
