Measles Exposure in Richmond

Virginia’s measles outbreak just got bigger—new exposure confirmed at Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital in Richmond between May 20–24, linked to the ongoing Buckingham County outbreak. With 64 cases this year, health officials are urging anyone who visited the hospital during those dates to complete a survey and check vaccination status. If unvaccinated, act fast—post-exposure treatment has a limited window. Symptoms appear 7–14 days later: fever, runny nose, red eyes, then rash. Complications like pneumonia or deafness can occur. If exposed, isolate and contact your doctor before seeking care. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
