PUBLIC HEALTH ALERT: MEASLES CASE CLARIFICATION

The Marshall County Health Department is providing clarification regarding information shared in a previous measles-related communication.

Following further review of the case by the Indiana Department of Health, there is currently no confirmed case of measles involving a Marshall County resident. The patient associated with the reported case was evaluated and tested by a healthcare provider in Marshall County; however, the individual is a resident of LaGrange County. Therefore, the confirmed measles case is now attributed to LaGrange County.

While there is currently not a confirmed case of measles in Marshall County, the Marshall County Health Department continues to closely monitor the situation and encourages residents to review their immunization records. Measles is a highly contagious disease, and maintaining high vaccination coverage is the most effective way to protect individuals and our community.

We apologize for any confusion and appreciate the public’s understanding as public health agencies work to provide timely and accurate information
