Measles Outbreak Linked To Super Bowl

Posted By: SteveRobWhatever 02-16-2012 , 12:08 AM	#1

Indiana is battling its second measles outbreak in two years, even though its vaccination rate exceeds the national average. Health officials say the cases, traced to a Super Bowl event, illustrate just how vulnerable the public is to exposure from sources at home and abroad. The 13 cases confirmed this month by state health officials have been confined to two counties, Boone and Hamilton. But all cases are linked to two infected people who visited the Super Bowl Village together on Feb. 3, prompting Indiana officials to reach out to health departments in New York and Massachusetts—home of the participating New England Patriots and New York Giants—for fear that the outbreak could spread across state lines. The Super Bowl setting has the same potential to spread the notoriously infectious disease, even though health officials in 2000 declared endemic measles—cases of the disease that originated in the United States—to be eliminated, due largely to increasing vaccination rates.
