FRANKFORT, Ky. (LEX 18) State health officials announced Friday that a person who attended an Asbury University revival service has a confirmed case of measles.
Officials say the person is a Jessamine County resident and attended the revival on February 18. No other information will be given due to privacy concerns.
Anyone who attended the revival on Feb. 18 may have been exposed to measles, said Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH). Attendees who are unvaccinated are encouraged to quarantine for 21 days and to seek immunization with the measles vaccine, which is safe and effective.
The Kentucky Department for Public Health is collaborating with Asbury University, the Jessamine County Health Department and the Center for Disease Control Prevention (CDC).
