A person with measles likely exposed others to the virus while attending a large spiritual revival, the CDC warned.
A person with measles recently attended a large spiritual revival in Kentucky, exposing an"undetermined" number of attendees out of the tens of thousands at the event, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned on March 3.
The event, called the"Asbury revival" or"outpouring," was a continuous, two-week-long prayer service that began spontaneously on Feb. 8 and drew thousands of participants to the university's Hughes Auditorium before ending on Feb. 19, Inside Higher Ed reported . An estimated 20,000 people from the U.S. and other countries attended the gathering on Feb. 17 and Feb. 18, when the person with measles also attended, the CDC reported.
In general, the CDC recommends that children receive their first measles, mumps and rubella vaccine dose when they are between 12 months and 15 months old and their second dose between 4 and 6 years old. Alternatively, the MMRV vaccine, which also guards against varicella , may be given following the same vaccination schedule.
