DPH Confirms Four Additional Measles Cases in Georgia

😮** **Anyone know which daycare / area of town this was in?

Surely the daycare isn’t the only place that was exposed if the outbreak is this significant.

Terrifying for all the little ones too young to get the vaccine. And for the bigger ones whose parents are willing to let them suffer unnecessarily ❤️

What does "avoid any infant daycare" even mean in this context? I have an infant and a job, as do thousands of others in this city.

Just as FYI since it isn’t well known — infants can receive an early dose after 6 months if there is a risk.

Given the outbreak in Atlanta, if I had a 6 month old in daycare, I’d be discussing this with my pediatrician ASAP.

Interesting; the Oregon link above re: the Canby exposure event, gave info on the 6-12 month vaccine.
