Measles Alert for Farm Workers in CA | Fresno News
Description
Measles outbreak in Arizona has health officials on high alert as 140 agricultural workers arrive in Fresno, Madera, and Merced counties—none showing symptoms yet, but more are expected. The virus, which spreads easily through the air and can linger for hours, poses a heightened risk in crowded living conditions with limited healthcare access. While details about employers or crops remain undisclosed, authorities are collaborating across states to monitor arrivals and prepare rapid response measures. The CDC confirms two vaccine doses offer 97% protection—health departments urge everyone to verify their immunization status. If you develop fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, or rash, call your doctor before visiting to stop spread.
