A sixth student at Florida’s Manatee Bay Elementary School outside of Fort Lauderdale has a confirmed case of measles, health officials announced late Tuesday.
As such, the normal quarantine period for exposed and unvaccinated people, who are highly susceptible to measles, is 21 days.
“Because of the high likelihood of infection, it is normally recommended that children stay home until the end of the infectious period, which is currently March 7, 2024,” Ladapo’s letter states, adding that the date could change as the situation develops.
The measles cluster began Friday when a third grader, who had not recently traveled, was diagnosed with the vaccine-preventable illness.
The measles virus spreads easily through respiratory transmission and can linger in air space for up to two hours after an infected person has been in an area.
Two doses of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine are 97 percent effective at preventing the disease.
