BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — The Boston Health Commission is warning Bostonians after a Northeastern University student living in the city was diagnosed with measles.
The student visited several locations on Northeastern's campus while infected, including dorm buildings, dining halls, and classrooms. In addition, the student visited Logan Airport's Terminal E on the night of January 3.
According to the commission, anyone who was at those locations during those times could become ill until January 24-27—up to 21 days after exposure.
"Measles is a dangerous disease and can cause serious complications, but it is preventable," BPHC Medical Director Dr. Jennifer Lo said in a release. "The best way for everyone to protect themselves is to get vaccinated. If you don’t know your immunity status, call your healthcare provider."
