If you liked COVID, yr gonna love measles!

With 46 countries reporting large measles outbreaks, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is tightening guidance for American travelers.

“Many international destinations are reporting increased numbers of cases of measles,” warns the agency.

The CDC now recommends Americans consult their physicians six weeks before travel instead of only a month prior, as late-2023 guidance suggested.

US health officials are warning doctors about the dramatic rise in measles cases around the world, and advising families traveling to a measles-affected country to get babies as young as 6 months vaccinated before they go.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health alert to doctors on Monday to increase awareness of the international spread of measles, and urged them to vaccinate infants a few months ahead of the typical schedule if families are planning to go abroad.

The warning comes ahead of the busy spring and summer travel season. Many countries, including Austria, Philippines, Romania and the United Kingdom–destinations frequented by American tourists–are experiencing measles outbreaks, the CDC noted.

Chicago health officials are rushing to vaccinate community members amid a growing measles outbreak in the city's largest migrant shelter.

By Wednesday afternoon, the Chicago Department of Public Health had reported 15 cases, mostly from a migrant shelter in the city’s Pilsen neighborhood, southwest of Chicago's Loop.

The outbreak is one of the nation's largest this year and the city's first since 2019. The U.S. and the world have seen increases in cases of the highly contagious yet preventable disease amid drops in the uptake of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. The shelter cases have prompted an outcry over conditions inside crowded migrant shelters. They also sparked a new wave of anti-immigrant rhetoric about foreign people bringing disease.

City health officials haven't yet established the outbreak's origin. But officials said the cases aren't linked to international travel, including by migrants who recently crossed the southern U.S. border before arriving at the shelter.

“This did not come with those newly arrived in the city, either,” Dr. Olusimbo 'Simbo' Ige, the city commissioner of public health, said in a briefing Wednesday afternoon. “This means that measles is circulating in our city. And it’s why we are putting the call out for everyone who is at risk to protect themselves now.”

Yeah, anti-immigration rhetoric. How dare we should object to plague bearing illegal invaders!

While the measles outbreak spread in a migrant shelter, the disease can easily spread to other congregate settings. It can remain in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves the room.
