Measles Resurfaces Amid Travel | Irvine News
Description
Measles is back in Orange County, linked to international travel — a toddler who returned via LAX has tested positive, reminding us this virus still circulates. Health officials urge travelers and hosts to get vaccinated: two MMR doses for those 12+ months (at least 28 days apart), ideally before trips; even babies 6–11 months traveling abroad need one dose. With over 2,300 confirmed U.S. cases this year — the highest since 2000 — vaccination isn’t just personal protection, it’s community defense. Symptoms? Fever, cough, red watery eyes, then a rash starting on the head. If you see them, call your doctor fast. Vaccination remains the most powerful shield against measles.
