Wayne County reports no confirmed measles cases while urging vaccination vigilance

Desere Baker, Supervisor for Children with Special Needs, told the Health & Medical Services Committee that "At this time, there are no confirmed cases of measles in Wayne County," but cautioned that vaccinated people can still contract measles and that additional vaccine doses may be administered to maintain up‑to‑date protection. She emphasized that measles poses special risks to immunocompromised people, infants and the elderly.

Ms. Baker also said she attended the recent Ginna exercise and will participate in the county’s October drill. The committee received no detailed case counts beyond the assertion of no confirmed local cases in the minutes; staff indicated continued clinic activity related to school‑mandated vaccinations.
