Description
Travelers who passed through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on May 10-11 may have come in contact with a person infected with measles, according to an announcement from Public Health – Seattle & King County.
The infectious traveler is from Arizona and was likely exposed to measles while traveling to or within Europe, according to Public Health. The person’s measles vaccine status is unknown.
“Measles is highly contagious and if you don’t have immunity, you can get it just by being in a room where a person with measles has been,” said Dr. Eric Chow, communicable disease chief for Public Health – Seattle & King County.
