Minnesota health officials say there are almost 70 confirmed cases of measles in the state so far this year, and a state lawmaker is hoping to make it harder for parents to opt out of vaccinating their children.
The worst outbreak of measles since 1990 is among us, with the total number at 60 now. The scary part is that there are now cases with people who have been vaccinated.
Due to the recent measles outbreak, CentraCare Health is hosting an immunization clinic in St. Cloud. It is Thursday from 5:00 until 8:00 p.m. at CentraCare Health Plaza.
There's been a measles outbreak in Minnesota. According to the Minnesota Department of Health, there are 29 confirmed cases in the state. One of those cases was just reported in Stearns County.
The measles outbreak has been limited to a county in the Twin Cities, until now. Stearns county can now be added to the list, and very likely much more to come.
