Second child at Chicago immigrant shelter diagnosed with measles

On Sunday, a second child at the same shelter has measles. The shelter in Pilsen is the largest in Chicago for illegal immigrants, housing 1,896 people. City health officials put the building in quarantine status to determine who has a vaccine or is newly vaccinated. Yes, they’re going to trust everyone.

“We have advised all unvaccinated and newly vaccinated residents of the quarantine period but some of those residents have left the shelter, and I want to acknowledge that,” Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Olusimbo “Simbo” Ige said.“Because of how contagious measles is, I anticipate seeing more cases,” Ige said. “Should you be exposed to someone who has measles, if you are not vaccinated you need to immediately quarantine and call a health provider. If you are not sure of your vaccination status, stay home and call your health provider as soon as possible.” The first child, who is too young to attend school, diagnosed with measles “has recovered and is no longer infectious,” according to city health official
