Another Report of Measles Exposure Reported On East Coast
A second report of possible measles exposure has been reported in Long Island, N.Y. this week as well.
Apparently a measles-infected baby was taken to a mall located in Westbury, located in Nassau, County.
The health department warned shoppers who were at Cedarhurst's Verizon Wireless store, Washington Mutual bank branch and Aries Nail Salon between 1 and 7 p.m. on Thursday at The Source mall's Maternity Works, Gymboree, Children's Place and Old Navy between 5 p.m. and midnight. Anyone who visited the mall's bathrooms during those hours should also be tested and receive the vaccine.
Any high-risk Suffolk residents who think they came in contact with the boy should call 631-853-3055. Vaccines will be provided at the Department of Health Services, 225 Rabro Dr. East in Hauppauge, but appointments are required in advance.
