Measles Virus Detected in at Least Five Airports in December
There is no scientific link between vaccines and autism, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
The Chicago Department of Public Health reported a passenger with measles entering Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport twice in less than a week in mid-December. The unidentified traveler first entered the airport through Terminal 3 on December 12, then reentered through Terminal 1 five days later. Chicago has some of the highest rates of measles, mumps and rubella vaccination in the U.S., ABC News noted.
“Measles is an acute, highly contagious viral disease. A small number of cases are capable of quickly producing epidemics,” Dr. Mark Escott, interim health authority and medical director at Austin Public Health, said in their statement. “The best way to protect yourself and your family against measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases is by immunization.”
On December 11, the children traveled through multiple areas of Denver International Airport, including the baggage and pickup area in Concourse A, Fox News reported.
