"This case of measles underscores the continued importance of obtaining the MMR vaccine. It is never too late for children or adults to get the measles vaccine and for the vaccine to be effective, even if they are past the age recommended by doctors."
"As measles cases continue to surge across our country, we should all ensure that we are vaccinated to prevent spread and serious illness."
A passenger infected with measles arrived at Logan Airport from Fort Lauderdale on April 14. The Boston Public Health Commission reported that the individual traveled on JetBlue Airways Flight 470 and left the airport in a private vehicle. Anyone in Terminal C between midnight and 2:30 a.m. may have been exposed. Health officials are collaborating with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to identify potential exposures. Unvaccinated individuals should contact healthcare providers and monitor for symptoms, as 94% of children in Suffolk County are vaccinated.
