Broward County Health Department: The Florida Department of Health in Broward County (DOH-Broward) is investigating multiple cases of measles that have occurred at an elementary school in Weston, Florida. DOH-Broward is continuously working with all partners, including Broward County Public Schools and local hospitals, to identify contacts that are at risk of transmission. Health care providers in the area
have been notified. Those that have received the full series of the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) immunization are 98% protected and are highly unlikely to contract measles. Measles is highly contagious and can remain infectious in the air and on surfaces for up to two hours, with over a 90% contraction rate among susceptible contacts. Susceptible contacts at risk include those that are immunocompromised and/or those who have not received a full series of the MMR immunization. Based on exposure timeframe, DOH-Broward is identifying susceptible contacts that
may be candidates for post-exposure prophylaxis through MMR or immunoglobulin.
