The first measles case in more than a decade has been confirmed in Kent County, officials announced.
This is the first confirmed case of measles since 2013 and Michigan’s second case this year -- the first was reported in Oakland County.
“Measles is a highly contagious disease that continues to circulate both in the U.S. and globally,” Dr. Adam London, health officer at the KCHD, said. “This case is a reminder of how quickly measles can spread and the importance of vaccination. We urge residents to check their immunization status and to get vaccinated, especially if planning to travel internationally or into areas with active measles outbreaks.”
