A measles outbreak in central Ohio is growing, sickening more than 50 children, with many of them needing hospitalization, according to data updated Tuesday by Columbus Public Health.
None of the children had been fully vaccinated against measles. Since the start of the outbreak in November, at least 58 measles cases have been identified in Columbus and Franklin, Ross and Richland counties, and there have been 22 hospitalizations, according to Columbus Public Health. Of those cases, 55 were in unvaccinated children.
“And so it is very concerning as an infectious disease physician, as also a mother of a young child and as a community member.” During the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, while most people stayed home and some health-care facilities were closed, many children missed their routine immunizations, including the MMR vaccine – and they still may not have gotten all their recommended shots. That’s true around the world as well as in the US.
