Impact analysis
Expect some added county health costs for tracking and alerts—and if it spreads, ER visits and outbreak response get expensive fast.
You do—if you were at one of those offices, the alert helps you get ahead of exposure, and providers get a useful heads-up too.
Unvaccinated people, infants too young for vaccination, and immunocompromised folks face the biggest risk if exposure spreads.
