Maryland health officials are reporting the state’s first measles case since 2009 and warning that people may have been exposed while the person was infectious.
The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene announced Wednesday that people may have been exposed last week at the following locations: a Giant grocery and liquors store in Catonsville on May 31, Catonsville High School graduation on June 1, an Applebee’s in Easton on June 2 and Oriole Park at Camden Yards and MTA Light Rail on June 3.
Officials say out of an abundance of caution, infants, unvaccinated pregnant women and unvaccinated persons with weakened immune systems who might have been exposed on June 3 should contact their health care provider.

I pray that with all the idiots who refuse to get their kids vaccinated because they think vaccines are evil that this measles outbreak doesn't spread.
1151...i agree, but sadly this looks as though is just the beginning. As these non-vaccinated children enter schools (and they will) you will see more and more.
The schools should make make vaccinations a mandatory requirement for registration. There is no one to blame for lack of vaccinations other than the parents.
If your child is not vaccinated and you cannot produce the proper proof of those vaccinations, you cannot enroll your child. Period.
