Measles Cases Surface in Two Counties | Rochester News

Measles is back in the region with three confirmed cases—two in Ontario County and one in Yates County—all unvaccinated. Public health officials say the risk to the general public is low, but warn measles is highly contagious and spreads through the air. Symptoms include fever, cough, and red, watery eyes. Two cases are in isolation; Yates County is urging anyone who visited the “Dutch Kuntry” store in Dundee on August 25 to contact health officials. Even with high vaccination rates, experts stress staying up to date on shots remains the best way to protect yourself and the community.
