A South Bay resident with measles may have exposed others when visiting the San Francisco International Airport and two other locations in San Jose this week, health officials said Saturday,<\/p>\n

The Santa Clara County Public Health Department said its staff is working with the California Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to identify close contacts who were exposed to measles during the infectious period.<\/p>\n

The department said in a news release Saturday that the person with measles is an adult who was exposed during international travel. The department did not say whether the person was vaccinated against the virus.<\/p>\n

On Monday, June 8, the contagious individual visited San Francisco International Airport\u2019s International Terminal \u2014 including passport control, customs and the international baggage claim area \u2014 between 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., the agency said, and also went to Trader Joe\u2019s on Coleman Avenue and the International Halal Market on E Santa Clara Street between 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.<\/p>\n

Members of the public who visited the sites at those times on June 8 may be at risk of developing measles seven to 10 days after they were exposed, the department said. Officials also warned that any unvaccinated individual traveling or joining large gatherings should be aware of their increased risk of measles if exposed.<\/p>\n

The department advised any individual who may have been affected to review their immunization records and call their healthcare provider immediately if they are pregnant, have a weakened immune system or are not immunized. They should monitor symptoms for seven to 21 days after the potential exposure.<\/p>\n

If symptoms develop, the agency urged anyone who believes they may be infected to call ahead to any medical facility before arriving and tell them about the exposure.<\/p>\n

The department also urged anyone with measles or at risk of developing measles not to attend large gatherings, as measles \u201cis one of the most infectious diseases in the world and spreads very rapidly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the number of large international events currently happening throughout the Bay Area, it is especially important that any unvaccinated, exposed individual quarantines to the best of their ability and avoids contact with others if feeling unwell,\u201d the department said.<\/p>\n

In February, the department warned of the first confirmed measles case since May 2025, when a Santa Clara County resident with measles visited a Panda Express restaurant in Burlingame while infected. Prior to 2025, the last confirmed case of measles in a Santa Clara County resident was in 2019.<\/p>\n

Common symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a rash, which can appear seven to 21 days after the exposure, the agency said.<\/p>\n

The two-shot measles, mumps and rubella vaccine series is 97% effective at preventing measles if a person is exposed and cases are typically milder in vaccinated people.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

According to the CDC, the virus may infect a vaccinated person if their immune system didn\u2019t respond correctly to the vaccine, or if they were near someone with the virus for a long time. Disease symptoms are generally milder in vaccinated people and vaccinated individuals are less likely to spread the disease to others, according to the CDC.<\/p>\n

The Santa Clara County Public Health Department said the Bay Area region benefits from very high rates of vaccination against measles.<\/p>\n

\u201cExposures like this one remind us of the importance of vaccination. Fortunately, the Bay Area region has strong community immunity, because of our very high rates of vaccination or from childhood exposure decades ago,\u201d said Dr. Sarah Rudman, Health Officer and Public Health Director for the County of Santa Clara.\u00a0 \u201cTwo shots of MMR or MMRV vaccine continue to be the best protection against measles and can stop a measles outbreak in its tracks, which is especially important during times of gathering and travel.\u201d<\/p>\n
