Officials with the Knox County (Indiana) Health Department have declared a state of medical emergency.
Public Health Director Alan Stewart says the action was taken in reaction to the current measles epidemic that has hit the United States. No cases have been reported in the county, but the declaration is meant to bring public attention to the situation and to get out in front of the epidemic before it becomes a problem on the local level.
As part of the declaration, Stewart is encouraging those who are not vaccinated against the measles to do so as soon as possible from their primary physician or local hospital or health department.
