“I worry about the potential student who maybe was unable to be vaccinated due to an underlying medical problem, such as people with immune deficiencies.'

A confirmed case of measles in Los Angeles County involved a student at the University of California­–Los Angeles , heightening concerns about the prospect of the disease spreading on college campuses.

“I worry about the potential student who maybe was unable to be vaccinated due to an underlying medical problem, such as people with immune deficiencies,” Morgan said, adding that those people have the highest mortality rate with the measles virus. However, Morgan noted that it’s not too late for college students to get vaccinated and encouraged them to do so. Instead of administering the doses years apart, college-aged people can receive the second dose as soon as 28 days after the first was administered.
