A young baby on Long Island has tested positive for measles, prompting health officials to warn of possible exposure for at least 12 others at Cohen Children's Medical Center. The infant, too young for the measles vaccine, likely contracted the virus during travel. Health officials are working to manage the situation under established protocols, urging anyone who visited the pediatric emergency department in early March to be vigilant. The county's high vaccination rates may help mitigate the spread of measles, which is re-emerging beyond New York City after two earlier cases in February.
The child was treated at Cohen Children's Medical Center earlier in March, raising concerns about potential measles exposure for at least 12 Long Island residents.
Health officials warn that anyone who visited Cohen's pediatric emergency department from March 3 to 4 may be at risk, highlighting the importance of vaccination.
