Alert Alert issued in New Jersey District after three confirmed cases

An measles alarm has been released in New Jersey after three cases of highly contagious virus were confirmed in the most populated state circuit.

An unjustified resident in Bergen County contracted measles after returning from a trip overseas. The person spread it to the other two, according to the New Jersey Health Department. All three are not vaccinated.

The State Health Department issued the alarm on Thursday, the day after Texas authorities confirmed an unjustified child in the Lone Star state died of a measles infection, marking the first death from the Virus in the US since 2015.

One advises anyone who visited the Englewood Hospital Emergency Department between 11:30 and 5:30 in February 9 to monitor for symptoms, which may appear until March 6, the Health Department said.

The department is also working to contact anyone else who may have been exposed, but stressed that any patient, staff or visitor who was in the hospital among those hours should contact the health care provider immediately.

Those who suspect they may have been exposed should first call their doctor before going to a structure so as not to risk infecting more people.

The New Jersey alarm comes after an explosion involved in Texas, infecting 146 and counting 20 hospitalized and a dead child, according to the State Health Services Department in Texas.

Another case of measles was also confirmed in an unprecedented child in Montgomery County, without. On Sunday, according to the Montgomery District Health Department.

The spread of measles has pushed a lot to highlight the importance of rescue vaccines such as MMR. Many have called on Robert F Kennedy Jr. – Secretary of the United States of the United States of the Secretary of Health and Human Services who has been inadvertently emerged against vaccines – speak in the explosion and visit the most affected communities to try and shake the needle.

Kennedy has largely minimized the Texas explosion-mainly limited to a close religious community with low vaccination number-saying that measles were not “unusual”.

Measles disappeared from the SH.BA since 2000 after a campaign for decades of vaccination. New cases now appear only in the country when they are contracted abroad, according to the CDC.

Kindergartens of children entering public schools nationwide are required to be vaccinated for measles-but since the Covid-19 Pandemia, most of the populations of the state garden age have fallen below the 95% vaccination threshold considered vital to the prohibition of outbreaks.

Most of those in the northeast have been vaccinated, but there has been a slight downward trend.

More than 93% of New Jersey gardens received the MMR vaccine last year, but the percentage was still at one percent of just more than 94% in 2022, according to centers for disease control and prevention. More than 97% were vaccinated in New York and Connecticut in both years.

Federal MMR vaccination rates, meanwhile, dropped by about 2.5% from 2020 to 2024, according to CDC.

Measles is a very contagious air disease. Bacteria can stay in the air for up to two hours after anyone who has contracted that cough or sneezing, according to NJDO.

Symptoms include high fever, cough, running nose, running red eyes and a rash usually occurs between three and five days after the onset of symptoms.

The most at risk are people who are not completely vaccinated or who have not had measles before. The MMR vaccine is two doses and usually provides eternal protection against the disease.
