Sacramento health officials are warning of a potential viral explosion after more than 100 children were possibly exposed to measles<\/a> at an educational enrichment program.<\/p>\n

The alarm was sounded<\/a> after an unvaccinated child, who was infectious at the time, attended the unidentified program in Sacramento County last week.<\/p>\n

Public health officials now say as many as 130 children may have been exposed to the virus<\/a>. The enrichment program has reportedly temporarily closed its facility following the incident.<\/p>\n

\"ASacramento region reports six confirmed measles cases amid ongoing multi-jurisdiction outbreak. KCRA<\/p>\n

\u201cMeasles, one of the most contagious infections, can lead to severe life-long consequences including permanent brain damage and can also be fatal, especially for children,\u201d said\u202fDr. Erica Pan, CDPH Director and State Public Health Officer, in a March 6 release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is safe and provides long-lasting protection against measles. Vaccination protects both our own families and those who are too young to be fully vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since late February, at least six cases have been confirmed across Sacramento and neighboring Placer County.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The scare also sent shock waves through a local hospital. One of the infected children was treated at the Kaiser Permanente Roseville Medical Center on the morning of March 2.<\/p>\n

The hospital has since been forced to track down every patient and staff member who was in the facility during that window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sacramento health officials are warning of a potential viral explosion after more than 100 children were possibly exposed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211118,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[7,53248,4182,121,123,122,3586,34501,97072],"class_list":{"0":"post-211117","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sacramento","8":"tag-california","9":"tag-measles","10":"tag-metro","11":"tag-sacramento","12":"tag-sacramento-headlines","13":"tag-sacramento-news","14":"tag-us-news","15":"tag-virus","16":"tag-viruses"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211117\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
