The following is a summary with new and ongoing information with respect to the measles outbreak
from the Ocean County Health Department.
-There are now 11 confirmed measles cases.
-There are also seven potential cases under investigation.
-Vaccination is encouraged and those children involved with exposure to a confirmed case may
be subject to an order of exclusion, if unvaccinated.
-The Ocean County Health Department continues to support and highly encourage the exclusion
of non-vaccinated children from schools, preschools and daycares in the outbreak area. These
entities have the authority to make that decision when an outbreak has been declared by the
New Jersey Department of Health
-People are reminded to check their immunization records and if there is any sign of symptoms
to contact your healthcare provider prior to showing up at that provider’s office so that
appropriate arrangements can be made for examination or treatment.
- The potential for spreading infection exists four days prior and four days after a measles rash
onset.
People can become ill from measles from 5 to 21 days after being exposed to the virus.
Measles-like symptoms include fever, rash, runny nose, cough, loss of appetite and pink eye.
Measles can spread through coughing and sneezing and can live on surfaces and in the air for
up to two hours.
30% of measles cases involve additional serious health complications.
if someone is unvaccinated, he's only putting HIMSELF in danger, no?
ReplyDeleteCan someone explain what the tumul is about?
No, measles is highly contagious, and can linger in the air for up to 2 hours after someone with the disease has coughed. Someone with 1 dose of the vaccine is only 92% chance of immunity, if you have both, 97%. Some people with auto immune deficiencies are unable to take the vaccinations.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the high level of contagion, it is easily conceivable that someone in a shul or school, who has the disease, can expose more than 100 people to it, which statistically, would cause 3 fully vaccinated people to contract the disease. Now you have 3 more people with the disease, and the cycle repeats and the disease spreads further.
Due to the viral shedding of the freshly vaccinated children, you can expect these numbers to climb.
ReplyDeleteI work in a daycare children are always come to daycare the same day they are vaccinated- Yet in all my years there never has a not yet vaccinated get any illness from them. How are they shedding? If they really are why don't evry baby get sick?
DeleteI’ve read the man who brought the measles back from Israel was vaccinated, is that true? And are any cases in children or just adults?

ReplyDeleteYes, de gantze maiysah is keeping the numbers this small and not 68 like monsey, and 1400 in israel
DeleteEasy to say that when it's not somebody in your family
DeleteSo you are OK if only a relatively small number of people die, or have brain damage CH'V?
DeletePlease, stop Chasveluming this thing , and get some sense: all of you. The danger of contracting is minimal (only eleven (!) cases ) and if someone contracts it, it's rarely ever dangerous. This does not give doctors and schools the right to force people' s hands' on how to treat their children. This is not polio; it's the flu, only milder. And the sky is not falling. The hysteria is astonishing.

Just as every parent has the right to decide what is best for their child to vaccinate or not every school has the right to say do as you please but in our school they must be vaccinated, if they don't like that find another school that allows it
DeleteParents have rights schools have rights.
Some idiot keeps commenting on multiple sites that the measles is just like the Flu. I assume if someone is posting on websites, they have ccess to internet, and can easily see that the death rate from Measles is 100x that of the Flu, they would also know that Measles is far more contagious than the flu, they would also know that Measles also has a much higher probability of complications from loss of hearing to brain damage. So why do they keep posting lies? Makes you wonder.
