LANE COUNTY, Ore. – Two new cases of measles are being reported in Oregon.
The Oregon Health Authority said one person living in Lane County and a visitor to Washington County were recently diagnosed with measles. The cases are linked to an infected person who passed through Portland International Airport on October 12.
None of the diagnosed people were vaccinated against measles.
“Measles is a highly infectious disease, and it doesn’t take much to spread it from one person to another, particularly in the close quarters of an airline flight,” said Ann Thomas, MD, public health physician at OHA. “It’s a good reminder of how important it is to make sure all adults and children in your household are up to date on vaccines.”
