Only five of the infected were vaccinated, with most either unvaccinated or of unknown status. 

Officials warn more cases are expected as the outbreak spreads through surrounding communities.

"Most health insurances cover the cost of the MMR and MMRV vaccine. Insured persons should check with their doctor or local pharmacy to see what vaccines are offered. Uninsured or underinsured children and adults can access free or low-cost vaccines at clinics enrolled in the Vaccines for Children (VFC) and Vaccines for Adults (VFA) program. For a list of clinics that offer free or low-cost immunizations for persons who are uninsured or underinsured, call 2-1-1 or visit: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/ip/clinics.htm."

"In the United States, as of February 21, a total of 93 measles cases have been reported this year, which is likely to increase given the ongoing measles outbreaks in Texas and New Mexico. Furthermore, 25% of these cases required hospitalization for management of measles complications or isolation. Most of these cases have been unimmunized. The last case of measles in a Los Angeles County resident was reported in February 2024."

A problem is that measles in general is NOT seen as "new(s)"...So getting a global view takes time and reporting...
