Measles Surge in Maryland | Annapolis News

Measles is back in Maryland—with five new cases in Carroll County bringing the annual total to nine, all linked to travelers exposed to an outbreak elsewhere. Health officials are investigating potential exposure sites, including a hospital ER waiting area, after a similar case last year sparked warnings across the region. With symptoms like fever, cough, rash, and watery eyes—and a possible 3-week incubation period—unvaccinated individuals are at highest risk. Public health officials urge everyone to check for exposure, watch for symptoms, and ensure their MMR shots are current, as this year’s case count already surpasses recent years. Staying vigilant and vaccinated remains critical to stopping the spread. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
