Task_2_C228.docx C228 Community Health C228 Task 2 Western Governors University MEASLES Rubeola, better known as the measles, is one of the most contagious and infectious diseases that mostly aff ... ect young children due to being unimmunized either by choice or possibly by income constraints. Prior to the vaccination in 1963, there were about 500 deaths related to measles and about 500,000 cases were reported every year (Zucker, Rosen et al, 2020, p. 1010). Which brings me to the outbreak I will be focusing on that was noted to be the “largest [outbreak] reported in the United States since 1992 that occurred in New York City in September 2018 (Zucker, Rosen et al, 2020, p. 1014). This specific outbreak started with a family traveling back from Israel. An unvaccinated child returned to New York City and developed symptoms, specifically a rash shortly thereafter. The New York Health Department was immediately notified. Subsequently a total of 649 cases were confirmed “with onsets of rash occurring between September 30, 2018 and July 15, 2019 with the majority of the patients residing in or near Williamsburg, New York (Zucker, Rosen et al, 2020, p. 1011). At the time the child was in Israel, there was an active outbreak of measles. Israels outbreak was traced back to Ukraine in March 2018 to May 2019. The genotype associated with this outbreak was one of the most common circulating the world: genotype D8 (Zucker, Rosen et al, 2020, p. 1013).
