The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) yesterday reported three more measles cases in an ongoing outbreak at a local migrant shelter, raising the number of infections at the facility to seven. Officials have also reported another unrelated measles case in the city, and the eight cases mark Chicago's first measles cases in 5 years.

Also, the CDPH said a team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has arrived in Chicago to help support the response, such as providing guidance on symptom monitoring protocols.
Family support and emergency management departments are working with the health department to relocate shelter residents to hotels and other shelter locations to create more space for quarantine.
Vaccination teams target other shelters, city landing zone
After vaccinating about 900 people at the Pilsen shelter and verifying the immunity status of others, CDPH teams are visiting other shelters to provide vaccinations to those who haven't received them. Teams are also stationed at the city's landing zone to provide immunization to people as they arrive in Chicago.
Chicago's outbreak is part of a national rise in cases, fueled by a global rise in cases and by gaps in measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) immunization.
