(WBAP/KLIF) — Denton County Public Health (DCPH) is reporting the first case of measles in Denton County this year. This individual is an adult with an unknown vaccination status. To protect patient confidentiality, no further personal information will be released.
“Today’s case is further evidence that measles cases are on the rise – and the DFW area is no exception,” said Dr. Matt Richardson, Director of Public Health. “While we haven’t linked this case to an existing outbreak, it highlights two realities: vaccines are important, and if you have signs and symptoms, you should be tested.”
Measles is highly contagious. Measles spreads through the air when a person with measles coughs or sneezes. It is important to know that you can get measles by being in a room where a person with measles has been, even up to two hours after that person has left. If one person has measles, up to 9 out of 10 people nearby will become infected if they are not protected.
