The individuals are listed here but we especially

like to recognize Miss Tiffany Smith, who was invaluable

at putting this whole thing together and worked with us

>> Good afternoon everyone, and, and thank you so much to those

in the room and those who have joined us remotely.

I want to start by just recognizing the many CDC, state,

who are currently doing critical work on coronavirus or COVID19.

I know many in the room are also helping to cover for those

who are deployed, so thank you to all of you as well.

as COVID19 spreads, disease importations are a constant

Measles, one of the most contagious infectious diseases,

was eliminated from the United States in 2000 thanks to decades

of robust and successful vaccination programs.

However, the global increase of measles in recent years,

in addition to increases in vaccine hesitancy,

especially when unvaccinated travelers acquire

In 2019, the US saw the highest number of measles cases

Over 73% of these cases were linked to a breaks

in New York affecting under vaccinated communities.

Sustained transmission of almost 12 months nearly led to the loss

of our nation's measles elimination status.

Today's session of Grand Rounds will focus on measles

in the United States and the response to and lessons learned

from the outbreaks in New York in 2018 to 2019.

You'll also hear about the CDC's national strategy

and increasing vaccination coverage to protect our nation

from vaccine-preventable diseases like measles.

The 2019 measles response in New York and in New York City

and beyond is an example of the best of Public Health.

We will need to draw on that kind of talent and that kind

On that note, I will pass it back to, to Dr. LeBlanc

In fact a single case of measles can infect 12 to 16 other people

It's an acute viral rash illness that classically presents

The incubation period is 10 to 14 days but rash can appear

as early as 7 days and lasts, or as late as 21 days.
