Another migrant child at Pilsen shelter diagnosed with measles

The Chicago Department of Public Health said the child has been staying at the new arrivals shelter in Pilsen, located at 2241 S. Halsted St. It was reported last week that another child at the same shelter had recently been diagnosed with measles.The CDPH is urging all new arrivals and Chicago residents to be vaccinated against measles to protect themselves and the community. Measles is a highly contagious respiratory virus that causes a rash and high fever.

Residents of the Pilsen shelter who are vaccinated can enter and exit the facility at their own discretion. However, the unvaccinated and those who were just vaccinated in the last few days are being asked to quarantine for three weeks and watch for symptoms."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," Dr. Ige said.
