The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health alert Friday about a potential measles outbreak linked to the recent religious revival at Kentucky's Asbury University.
The CDC was first informed by the Kentucky Department for Public Health. On Feb. 24, Kentucky health officials identified a case of measles in an unvaccinated individual with recent international travel.
“Anyone who attended the revival on Feb. 18 may have been exposed to measles. Attendees who are unvaccinated are encouraged to quarantine for 21 days and to seek immunization with the measles vaccine, which is safe and effective,” KDPH Commissioner Steven Stack said.A decline in child measles vaccinations has revived the disease in the United States, with cases jumping from 49 in 2021 to 122 in 2022, all among unvaccinated children. Specific outbreaks occurred in Ohio and Minnesota.
