Massachusetts health officials are warning residents about possible measles exposure after a confirmed case was reported in the greater Boston area on Sunday. The person visited several locations during the infectious period, including a Starbucks and a Service Plaza on I-90, according to a health department press release. “The measles virus is currently causing large national and international outbreaks of measles and a lack of vaccination, combined with domestic and international travel, has resulted in the spread of illness,” Dr. Catherine Brown, the state’s epidemiologist, said in the press release. Officials warned those possibly exposed to the virus may develop symptoms within 10 days to two weeks. The agency recommends adults receive at least one dose, with certain high risk groups requiring two doses.
