~ A confirmed case of measles has been reported in a resident of the Southern Kenai Peninsula this week, according to Seattle King County Public Health. The individual, an unvaccinated adult, began experiencing symptoms while traveling home to Alaska from a trip overseas. It is believed that the person was infectious while flying on Alaska Air flight 228 from Seattle to Anchorage on January 10.
The individual arrived at Sea-Tac Airport between 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., and was at the S Concourse (Gate S8), International Arrivals and Customs Baggage Claim (Carousel 21), and Concourse D (Gate D7). During this time, there were multiple flights to Southeast Alaska, increasing the possibility of exposure for those who were also at Concourse D.

Measles is a highly contagious viral respiratory disease that can spread through the air or through direct contact with respiratory secretions. Symptoms typically start with a fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and sore throat, followed by a rash that often begins on the face before spreading to other parts of the body. More information about measles can be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website.
If you believe you may have been exposed to measles and develop a fever or unexplained rash, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately for further guidance. Taking precautionary measures such as getting vaccinated can help prevent the spread of this highly infectious disease.
