Course Description

Measles is a serious disease that can lead to devastating medical complications and suffering. Measles Outbreak covers the course and symptoms of measles and how medical science successfully eradicated the disease in 2002. The last five years has seen a reemergence of the disease that can be traced to declining vaccinations rates.  The course takes a close look at the pathology of the measles and importance of maintaining high vaccination rates. Special attention is placed on recent outbreaks in California and the legislation that has eliminated personal exemptions and current efforts for increased oversight of medical exemptions.

Administrators should be familiar with measles and ensure that all clients and staff are vaccinated.
