Measles spreads in Oregon: Were you at these 2 Portland-area restaurants?
Officials said 11 Oregon cases this year involve mostly unvaccinated people as exposures continue to spread across the state.
- Oregon Health Authority officials identified two new measles exposure sites at Lark Cafe in West Linn on March 27 and Pho in Gresham on March 25. Individuals present at these locations should contact their health care provider to assess exposure.
- These reports follow recent exposures at Providence Portland Medical Center's emergency waiting room on March 30 and a Gresham Winco on March 7, as OHA monitors 11 reported measles cases in Oregon this year.
- Measles spreads through the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves, with symptoms like fever, cough, and rash beginning 7-21 days after exposure, OHA said.
- Individuals who may have been exposed should contact their health care provider before arriving unannounced at clinics. Providers can determine immunity based on vaccination records, age, or laboratory evidence.
- Two doses of the MMR vaccine offer 97% protection against measles, yet experts warn current official case counts likely represent only a fraction of actual infections spreading nationwide.
