Public officials have warned unvaccinated people or those with an unknown immunization status who visited the sites at the same date and times can be at risk of developing measles from seven to 21 days after exposure. 

Those who were in those locations at the same time are advised to review their immunization and medical records to make sure they are protected against measles. They make sure to contact their healthcare providers as soon to inform them about potential exposure. People potentially exposed should also keep monitor themselves when the following symptoms occur: unexplained fever and or rash, cough, runny nose, red and watery eyes, all within seven to 21 days of exposure. 

In the United States, more than 94% of kindergarten- age children are vaccinated against measles. However high nationwide percentages cover some troubling trends. Recently many have opted to not vaccinate their children for nonreligious, holistic reasons. Children under the age of 5, and adults older than the age of 20, pregnant women, and overall people with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable. 

If you are feeling any symptoms, please make sure to visit a Los Angeles Urgent Care Immediately for medical attention.
