Measles Exposure in Sacramento

Hundreds of people in Sacramento may have been exposed to measles after a child from El Dorado County contracted the virus. UC Davis Health is working to contact everyone who was in the emergency room on the day of exposure, as around 300 people may have been exposed. Dr. Olivia Kasirye emphasized the importance of vaccinations, as measles symptoms can lead to severe complications. Measles can be prevented with vaccines and poses a significant threat to young children, pregnant individuals, and those with compromised immune systems.
