At least 1 Minneapolis school reports measles case, district stresses up-to-date vaccinations

Minneapolis Public Schools has sent a message to families saying that measles has been identified in at least one of the district’s schools. District officials say they’re working with the Minnesota Department of Health to contact people most closely impacted by measles in the district. They did not say how many cases there are, or what school they’re associated with, citing privacy reasons. The district asked parents to make sure kids are up-to-date on their vaccinations and to watch for symptoms like a rash, fever and a cough. The Minnesota Department of Health recommends that anyone with symptoms should stay home and avoid visitors.
