Nashville Confirms Second Measles Case of the Year, Lists Seven Exposure Sites
Nashville's public health department issued an alert on Nov. 5 confirming the city's second measles case of the year and listing seven possible exposure locations visited by the patient. The patient had not been vaccinated against measles and had recently traveled internationally. The verified exposure sites include: a Halloween party on Oct. 31 at the Westin hotel on Clark Place in Nashville; the New Direction Jewelry School in Arlington on Oct. 30 and Nov. 2; the Sprouts Farmers Market on Nolensville Pike in Nashville from 1 to 5 p.m. on Nov. 1; the Subway on Franklin Road in Brentwood from 2 to 5 p.m. the same day; Remedy Lash Studio in Brentwood from 4 to 7 p.m. the same day; United Joint & Spine Center in Brentwood from 3 to 6 p.m. on Nov. 2; and an immediate care clinic on Cane Ridge Road in Antioch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 3. Health officials urge anyone who was at those locations at those times to check their vaccination status; the unvaccinated should get the MMR vaccine promptly and watch for symptoms, with an incubation period of 7 to 21 days after exposure. This is Nashville's second confirmed case this year; the first was linked to Vanderbilt University. As of Oct. 17, Tennessee had confirmed nine cases statewide this year, making this at least the tenth.
