Measles

A surge in recent cases has health officials urging parents to check their child's immunization record. The highly contagious disease can cause hospitalization and even death.

State Health Officials are investigating three new cases confirmed in recent days.

I can remember, as a kid, getting my shot for measles, mumps, and rubella. I can still remember walking into the old police department in Williston and getting that shot because my arm hurt for weeks after. I am thankful my parents made that decision because I didn't catch any of these infections...

Caution and being on guard are big watchwords for an old nemesis, the measles.
