Good afternoon, Chicago.
In response to a continuing measles outbreak, city officials will require migrants living at a densely-populated Lower West Side shelter to receive a second dose of the measles vaccine 28 days after the first, extending the quarantine period for children under age 5, the Chicago Department of Public Health said Monday.
There have been 31 confirmed cases of measles in Chicago this year, 21 of which are in children under the age of 5. Seven cases have been reported in the city in the past week.
