Santa Clara County said an adult South Bay resident with measles may have exposed the public on June 8 at SFO’s International Terminal and two San Jose stores.
The patient was infected during international travel, and county health officials are working with California and CDC teams to identify close contacts from the infectious period.
People at SFO from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. or at Trader Joe’s and International Halal Market from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. that day were told to watch for symptoms for 7 to 21 days.
Officials urged pregnant, immunocompromised or unvaccinated people to call healthcare providers promptly, and said anyone with symptoms should alert medical facilities before arriving.
The county warned large Bay Area gatherings raise exposure risks for unvaccinated people, while stressing the two-dose MMR series is 97% effective and regional vaccination rates remain high.
