Measles Outbreak in Maricopa County | Mesa News
About this episode
The episode discusses a major measles outbreak in Maricopa County, highlighting exposure sites and vaccination recommendations.
Measles is back in Maricopa County with a major outbreak—six new exposure sites in Phoenix and Chandler linked to an out-of-state case. Twenty-five confirmed cases this year, up from just one annually. If you were there between July 12–13, check your vaccination status: unvaccinated folks face a 90% risk of infection. The virus is airborne, lingering up to two hours, and symptoms—fever, rash, cough, runny nose—appear 7–12 days later (up to 3 weeks). No cure exists, and complications can be deadly. Health officials urge everyone to vaccinate or boost, even infants as young as six months. If sick, stay home and call your doctor before visiting.
