FYI
Residents Urged To Get Measles Vaccination
The Hillsborough County Department of Health is encouraging residents in Central Florida to obtain a measles vaccination. They are also encouraging visitors to get the immunization as well.
As of April 17th, one case of measles had been reported to the Florida Department of Health. No cases have been reported in the Tampa Bay Area. However, residents and visitors in Citrus, Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk and Sarasota Counties are urged to get vaccinated.
In the past, it was thought that the measles had been eradicated in the United States in 2000. However, the disease has reappeared in recent months in the form of outbreaks in several states. The Centers for Disease Control and Health Protection defines a measles outbreak as three or more cases.
Measles is an acute, highly contagious viral disease. Although it is usually considered a childhood disease, it can be contracted at any age. The disease is spread through the air by breathing, coughing or sneezing. The symptoms of measles generally begin approximately seven to 14 days after a person is exposed to someone with the
measles. The symptoms include fever, runny nose, cough and rash. Anyone with these symptoms should contact his or her health-
care provider. There is no specific treatment for measles.
