In the Atlanta metropolitan area, four young children at a single daycare facility have been confirmed with measles — a disease so contagious it can reach nine of ten unvaccinated people in a shared room.

What happens in one daycare rarely stays there.

Parents may face childcare disruptions if facility closes for investigation/decontamination. Increased demand for measles vaccinations and related healthcare visits. Potential out-of-pocket costs for testing and preventive care. Consumer confidence in childcare facility safety may decline.
