Travelers who passed through Philadelphia International Airport on the night of Sunday, Sept. 13, may have been exposed to measles, the Philadelphia Department of Public Health warned Saturday. The exposure window ran from 7:25 p.m. Sept. 13 to 12:05 a.m. Monday, Sept. 14, in Terminals B and F and in areas used to connect to Terminals C, D and E, according to 6abc Philadelphia.
The person with measles was traveling through the city and did not leave the airport, health officials said. The alert is unrelated to a separate exposure at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) on Sept. 11. Immune travelers face very little risk, but travelers who are not protected, including infants too young for the vaccine, should watch closely.
