Measles case confirmed in Maryland resident who recently traveled - WBAL-TV
Overview
Maryland health officials confirmed a case of measles in a Baltimore-area resident who recently traveled internationally and are conducting contact tracing and notifying potential exposure sites. This Maryland importation, like the newly reported New Jersey case linked to international travel, shows how travelers can introduce measles domestically and increases the need for prompt contact tracing, public notification, and verification of vaccination status for exposed individuals.
