Visitors to Norman health facilities, restaurant urged to watch for measles symptoms

The Health Department advised people to call if they visited the following locations at times when they could have been exposed:

• Norman Pediatrics, 808 Wall St., 9:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Feb. 2, or 11:15 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Feb. 6.

• Chuck E Cheese's, 2201 Interstate Drive, 12:45 to 3:30 p.m. Feb. 3.

• Norman Regional HealthPlex, 3300 HealthPlex Parkway, 12:25 to 3:30 p.m. Feb. 6. The virus could have spread in outpatient registration, the emergency room waiting area and the laboratory collection area, so members of the public who visited those areas should watch for symptoms.

Measles should be an issue with infants younger than 1 1/2 years as vaccination is very effective and is administered around age (1). Older folks like myself had Measles and German Measles as children.

The warning suggests all age groups as none is specified. Many 3rd World Countries do not provide the same level of prophylaxis against childhood diseases, but this is the USA.

Adults can get measles, too. I was 19 years old in Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri in 1966 and I and one other guy contracted the measles. So far as I know, he and I were the only ones affected.
