Almost 200 people could have reportedly been exposed to measles after a child with the disease was treated in the emergency room at the University of California, Davis, (UC Davis) Children’s Hospital last month.

The girl, from Calaveras County, had not been vaccinated against the disease, according to The Sacramento Bee.
