MEASLES OUTBREAK HERE

Sixteen people ranging in age from 4 months to 44 years have come down with the highly contagious virus in Tarrant County and another five cases are part of the outbreak in nearby Denton County.  The cases are linked to the Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, Texas, where a visitor traveled to Indonesia became infected with measles, then returned to the U.S. spreading it to the largely unvaccinated church people.  Since the measles outbreak, members of the congregation have been urged to get vaccinated and the church has held several vaccination clinics.  People need to be aware and well-informed about the risks of the disease, especially when they travel abroad.
