The New Jersey Department of Health announced that a 1-year-old baby in Jersey City is New Jersey's first confirmed case of the measles. According to officials, the baby - who has since recovered - was not vaccinated against the measles since vaccine is not administered until child is between 12-15 months-old.
Residents of the apartment building where the baby lives were informed of the results and alerted of potential measles exposure.
Officials said, the last day that a person could become ill due to exposure from this case would be Feb. 7.
If you experience symptoms of measles such as: rash, high fever, cough, runny nose or red watery eyes, contact your health care provider.
