The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Immunization Section requests your immediate action to help avoid a measles outbreak in your school. We are contacting you because your school has an immunization protection rate for measles that falls below the Community Immunity Threshold (CIT) of 96%.
The United States is experiencing an unprecedented surge in measles cases across 22 states and jurisdictions. Measles is highly contagious and can be fatal, especially in school-aged children.
The Mobile Health Clinic will visit our Primary Building on Monday, April 11, 2025 from 10am – 1pm and Middle School on Wednesday, April 16, 2025 from 10 am – 1 pm.
The event is designed as an opportunity to access both school required immunizations and physical examination for state mandated health requirements
