More Measles Cases Popping Up All Over the Country!
See this is why it should be the LAW that everyone get immunized against the measles, chicken pox and rubella. The measles is 100 % preventable. We have a wonderful vaccine that they have been using for decades. But now since we've given people free will, to chose or not choose to be vaccinated against the measles it is making a horrible comeback. Some of the cases are related to Disneyland and the other Disney theme park next to Disneyland in Southern California. But others . There are currently about 92 cases nationwide, one right here in a neighboring county with a really young kid who was too young to be vaccinated. But just today in NY, a college student who had active measles boarded an Amtrak train at Penn Station and rode the train to Albany NY. So everyone who was on that train has now been exposed. And if you were vaccinated prior to 1989, you might need a booster shot. You can check it out with a simple titter test. I think I would just get the booster shot. Better to be safe than sorry. Right? Anyway, NY Officials are advising the public to call your primary health care physician or your local Emergency Room BEFORE going down there, so you don't infect the facility. That's a smart idea, because the PCP can sneak you into the rear door instead of having you sit in his waiting room coughing and infecting the entire room full of other patients waiting to be seen. Currently, there are 14 states and about 92 active cases. So far there have been no deaths reported from this outbreak.
