CVS customers in Norwalk may have been exposed to measles

NORWALK — A person with a confirmed case of measles visited a Norwalk pharmacy last month, exposing customers and staff to infection, health officials said today.

The infected person visited the CVS at 11623 Rosecrans Ave. on Jan. 30 between 4:20 p.m. and 6:40 p.m.

Unimmunized persons who were at this CVS during this time are at risk of exposure for up to 21 days.

The L.A. County Department of Public Health is dealing with a local outbreak of measles involving five people. Four of these measles patients were exposed after coming in contact with an “international visitor” who was infected with measles while in L.A. County.

Health officials urged anyone who may have been exposed to monitor themselves for illness with fever and/or unexplained rash. Pregnant women, infants, and those with a weakened immune system should see a doctor immediately.
