Health Department News
Measles Outbreak- Vaccination is Key
From January 1 to February 20, 2015, 154 people from 17 states and Washington DC were reported to have measles.
Measles starts with fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and sore throat. It’s followed by a rash that spreads over the body.
Measles virus is a highly contagious virus and spreads through the air through coughing and sneezing.
Make sure you and your child are protected with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR).
Measles can be prevented with the MMR vaccine. One dose of MMR vaccine is about 93% effective at preventing measles if exposed to the virus,
and two doses are about 97% effective. Click on the links below for more information:

Beat the Flu – It’s Not too Late to Get Vaccinated!
The best prevention anyone 6 months of age and older has against the flu is to get vaccinated
every year. Even when circulating flu strains aren’t a perfect match, flu vaccination still
provides protection and can help to decrease hospitalizations and doctor visits. Flu
vaccines are available by appointment while supplies last. Flu shots and Flu Mist are
offered and each cover four (4) strains of the flu. Vaccinations are available by appointment
at our Main Office and Teen Health Center (THC). THC serves those 10-21 years of age and is
located at 2215 Court Street on the campus of Port Huron High School. Most insurance is
accepted and consider flu vaccination a covered benefit. For those who are uninsured, cost
will vary based on income eligibility and family size. For more information, contact
Preventive Health & Immunizations at (810) 987-5729 or Teen Health Center at (810) 987-1311.
