Summary and Highlights:

Our purpose at the Chicago Department of Public Health is to work with communities and partners to create an equitable, safe, resilient, and Healthy Chicago. Please review the attached HAN Alert for a Chicago school specific measles update.

Since January 2024, CDPH has confirmed 64 cases of measles, most of which are related to an outbreak at a Chicago shelter. Among the 64 cases, 33 (52%) have occurred in children 0–4 years and 9 (14%) have occurred in children aged 5–17 years. CDPH is starting to identify more spread of measles in the community. There have been several measles cases recently with no direct link to new arrivals or shelters.

In the context of community measles transmission, schools and daycares should be aware of the new CDPH recommendation of an “accelerated” 2nd MMR dose to Chicago children.
For children over 1 year old, 2 doses of MMR vaccine:
Children can receive their 2nd dose 28 days after 1st dose.
This 2nd dose before 4 years of age meets IL school vaccine requirements.
Public exposure locations are available on Chicago’s measles website: chicago.gov/measles
Up to date information about measles for Chicago schools can be found on the ChicagoHAN's School Health Page.

Please see the attached for full details.
