Sanilac County families are being urged to check their shot records after the health department confirmed the county’s first measles case in years. Health officials are working with the state to trace where the resident caught the illness and whether anyone else in the community may have been exposed. Measles spreads through the air and brings a high fever and a rash that starts on the face. Officials say two doses of the MMR vaccine are 97 percent effective, and anyone with symptoms should stay home and call a doctor.
