Measles Case Confirmed In Limerick Township

Saturday's alert from the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services confirmed a measles case in Limerick Township and warned of exposure sites at Nissan 422 and Wawa.
The case followed a chain of transmission tied to a larger college outbreak in Florida after an infected person visited Collegeville urgent care on Jan. 29; all Pennsylvania cases this year were unvaccinated.
Health authorities detailed contagion and vaccination timelines, saying exposure at Nissan 422 and Wawa includes two hours after presence, measles can linger two hours, and symptoms should be watched for 21 days.
The department advised that testing and reporting will be conducted; exposed, nonimmune individuals should call their doctor or the Office of Public Health at 610-278-5117.
The CDC says the disease is resurging, and Pennsylvania confirmed 11 cases as of Saturday; officials warned infants, pregnant women, and immunocompromised face high risks and urged local vaccination.
