Measles returns to Oneida County after 30 years
Original: First measles cases in 30 years confirmed in Oneida County
Health officials in Oneida County, New York, have confirmed the county's first measles cases in three decades. The announcement raises concerns about vaccination coverage and possible exposure sites, as measles outbreaks continue to be reported elsewhere in the United States. Residents are being urged to check their immunisation status and watch for symptoms.
Why now: The reappearance of a disease eliminated locally for 30 years, amid wider measles concerns, is prompting public health attention.
