Summary
Clark County Public Health said an unvaccinated child with confirmed measles was contagious while testing positive at Vancouver Clinic in Vancouver, creating a potential exposure site.
July 17 visitors to the clinic at 2525 NE 139th St. between 1:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. were told to contact their healthcare provider because officials still do not know where the child was infected.
Vancouver Clinic said it is contacting potentially exposed patients and staff, and asked anyone with symptoms to call 360-882-2778 before coming in.
Measles symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and rash; earlier county guidance said unvaccinated exposed people should isolate for 21 days.
