Measles at LAX: Exposure Alert | Venice Beach News

Another measles scare hits LAX after a traveler on Delta Flight 641 exposed passengers near Gate 206 and baggage claim on July 16. Health officials urge anyone who was there between 9:45 PM and 11:30 PM to check their immunity and watch for symptoms—fever, cough, runny nose, rash—since symptoms can appear up to 21 days later. This marks the eighth case this year, adding to a worrying pattern of outbreaks linked to LAX, Burbank Airport, and even Disneyland, mostly among unvaccinated or unknown-status individuals. With over 2,000 confirmed U.S. cases as of mid-July—the highest since measles was declared eliminated in 2000—falling vaccination rates are fueling the spread. If exposed, get checked and avoid contact with others for 21 days if unvaccinated. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
