A measles outbreak in South Carolina isn’t centered in the Rock Hill region, but there’s still cause for concern in this area, according to the state health department. In fact, the state’s top expert on disease spread through communities said Friday, there should be concern in any region. “At this time our concern level is for the entire state,” said State Epidemiologist Linda Bell with the South Carolina Department of Public Health.

As one of the most highly contagious known viruses, measles will infect about 90% of people who are exposed to it and have no immunity through vaccines or prior infections, Bell said. One infected person can spread measles to between eight and 20 people on average, she said. Read more at:

“The people involved, all the cases that have been identified, are unvaccinated,” Bell said. “Nor did they have immunity from a previous measles infection or natural immunity.”

Easy to prevent, but some are too stubborn to prevent it

Yes.

I had measles as an infant, before I was old enough to have the vaccine.  A friend of my parents' who came to see the new baby (me) had been exposed and wasn't aware of it.  I was placed in the nursery with all the other infants until a doctor recognized what I had and ordered me to be isolated.

When my mom and I were talking about that, she told me her youngest sister nearly died from measles.  Mom caught it at school and gave it to her.  Mom had a pretty easy recovery, but she remembers my aunt turning blue because she couldn't breathe well.
