Michigan Measles Exposure Confirmed in Kent, Oakland Counties

Health authorities in Michigan have confirmed measles exposure at a medical office building located at 3950 S. Rochester Road in Rochester Hills on June 3. The exposure involved two confirmed cases, one from Allegan County and another from Macomb County, with the latter visiting the Rochester Hills building from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Officials advise anyone who was at the site during this timeframe to consider themselves exposed and monitor for symptoms for 21 days. High-risk individuals, including pregnant people, unvaccinated children under five, and those with weakened immune systems, may be eligible for immune globulin treatment if administered within six days of exposure. Measles is highly contagious and can linger in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves, with symptoms ranging from high fever to a distinctive rash. Vaccination with the MMR vaccine is recommended for anyone unvaccinated or unsure of their immunization status to prevent further spread.
