Suffolk County Health Officials Advise Residents to Make Sure They are Up to Date on Immunizations

February 4, 2015 - As the United States experiences a large, multi-state outbreak of measles, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, Legislator William Spencer, MD, and Commissioner of Health Services James Tomarken, MD, MPH, urge residents to make sure that they are up to date on their immunizations. Though Suffolk County has not reported a case of measles since 2008, officials are concerned because CDC has reported 102 cases from 14 states, including New York, between January 1 and January 30, 2015.
