(INDIANAPOLIS) – Health officials say five new cases of measles have been confirmed in Allen County.
The Indiana Department of Health says the new cases are three minors and two adults. That brings the total to six cases so far this year, all in Allen County.
The initial case was reported earlier this week and was a minor.
All six cases are connected to each other but at this time there are no known links to outbreaks in other states. The four minors were unvaccinated and the adults’ vaccination status is unclear. All are recovering well.
State and local public health officials are working together on the investigation to contact those with known exposure to help prevent further spread of infection. The risk to the general public remains low.
