Measles Case in Seneca County | Rochester News

Measles is back in Seneca County — one unvaccinated traveler recently returned from Pennsylvania, got sick, was briefly hospitalized, and is now recovering in isolation. Health officials are scrambling to find anyone who may have been exposed. Symptoms appear 7–14 days after exposure, starting with fever, cough, and runny nose — then the classic rash. The virus is airborne and contagious even before symptoms show up. With 15 confirmed cases outside NYC this year (including a new one in Tioga County), experts say the public risk remains low — especially if you’re vaccinated. The MMR vaccine is your best defense. If you’re feeling sick, stay home and call your doctor — or call ahead if you must go to urgent care. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
