California hospital warns 200 people who may have been exposed to measles in the waiting room of its emergency department.

A patient who was diagnosed with measles was treated at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, California, on March 17, according to a statement from Dean A. Blumberg, the chief of pediatric infectious diseases at UC Davis Children’s Hospital.

Blumberg said the hospital “took appropriate precautions in the areas the patient had visited” and that the patient was the only measles case the hospital had. “In an abundance of caution, we’ve notified the 200 or so patients who we know may have been in the vicinity” of the patient, Blumberg said, adding that no other measles cases have emerged so far.

The letter warned the 200 people that they or a family member may have been exposed to measles while in the waiting room on March 17. It said they would “need to notify [their] primary health care provider and [their] child’s provider of this possible exposure to discuss [their] possible risk of infection, vaccination history, and other questions [they] may have.”

The patient diagnosed with measles was an unvaccinated child from Calaveras County, California, who developed the disease after returning from international travel, according to theA medical assistant holds a box of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine vials at the International Community Health Services clinic in Seattle, March 20, 2019.

Open borders-unvaccinated-unvetted illegal aliens!!

Outrageous and so unnecessary.

The only people that need to worry are the unvaccinated, right?

What’s worse is that Millions of Americans have been infected by Trump Derangement Syndrome because of the MSM!! That’s sad, so sad!!

Are we going to be wiped out by a disease that is entirely preventable? It needs to be a law that if you don't vaccinate your kid and they get measles and spread it to others, the parents get to go to jail.

Did they suggest they see a doctor?
