Northern California health workers are scrambling to control a growing measles outbreak centered on a region that is still reeling from the most destructive wildfire in state history.

In Placer County, health staff started scrambling last month when three people fell sick after visiting the home of the original Butte County patient, said Michael Romero, program manager for the public health department.County health staff obtained a list of 285 people who were at a gym when the measles patients were also there so they could call them, Romero said.

“This is one of those all-hands-on-deck sort of responses,” Romero said. “In my time with the county in the last 16 years, I can’t remember the last measles investigation like this.”California may be spared from the larger outbreaks affecting other states because of a state law that tightened vaccination standards three years ago, experts say.

Since the law went into effect, California’s kindergarten vaccination rate has increased from 92.9% to 95.1%, according to state data. Doctors say that a community needs at least 95% immunity to prevent measles from spreading. “When folks [aren’t] taking vaccination recommendations seriously, this is what can happen,” said Tim Mapes, community education specialist with the Shasta County health department.

CDC reports 90 new measles cases as outbreak approaches recordThe U.S. total is now 555 after the third consecutive week of increases, approaching a record since the disease was 'eliminated' in 2000. There are a lot of people who obviously should not reproduce. What kind of parent would be so careless as to endanger their own child and others. Special thanks to all the morons who think they know better than the entire medical community and refusing to vaccinate their fucking kids. Way to go 👍 Ohh nooo, not measles!!! Maybe if we scare people about measles, people will actually pay attention to us again? You’d be surprised what your spirit alone could overcome. Go spend some time in nature, would you...
