An individual diagnosed with measles in New Hampshire traveled to Boston Logan Airport on June 22 and flew home to Amsterdam while infectious, potentially exposing others at Terminal E.
Massachusetts reported its first confirmed measles case in four years, an adult who also recently traveled internationally.
Three local businesses in New Hampshire were identified as potential exposure sites: Texas Roadhouse in Concord, Baked and Brewed Café on Suncook Valley Road in Alton, and The Common Man on Daniel Webster Highway in Merrimack.
In recent developments, there have been reports of a measles outbreak affecting multiple states, including New Hampshire and Vermont. According to various sources, an individual who was diagnosed with measles in late June traveled from Hanover, NH to Boston Logan Airport on June 22 and flew home to Amsterdam while infectious. This traveler is believed to have exposed others at the airport's Terminal E before departing.
It is important to note that measles is a highly contagious disease. Those who are not immune or have not been fully vaccinated are at risk of contracting the illness. People with weakened immune systems and infants who have not yet received the measles vaccine are also particularly vulnerable.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises that measles symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a rash of tiny red spots. If you believe you may have been exposed to someone with measles or are experiencing these symptoms, it is recommended that you contact your healthcare provider.

The newest infection is the fifth linked to a multi-state outbreak of measles.
Being vaccinated is the best protection against measles.
Given the rates of vaccination in the community, I would take this as a warning that we will likely see something like this again, and we want to make sure we are protecting as many people as possible, and this is particularly true in children.
If just one person has it, up to 9 out of 10 people who happen to be nearby will become infected if they aren't protected.
