With travel and tourism about to peak in Central Florida, health officials are renewing a push for vaccinations.
Doctors saying the latest outbreak of measles indicate adults are at a higher risk of spreading the disease and that it's a good idea to get revaccinated.
"About 59 percent of the people who came down with measles were adults, over the age of 20, and those adults didn't have prior evidence of vaccination against the measles," said Dr. Tim Hendrix, of Centre Care.
Anyone born after 1957 is at-risk and needs to check their vaccination records. Two measles shots are needed for protection, Hendrix added.
"There's a period of time in the 60s and 70s where we were just giving one measles shot," Hendrix said. "Since 1989, we started getting two measles shots to start giving that extra boost."
People might not know if they are immune to the disease, health officials said. A quick blood test will indicate immunity.
"Your protection against the measles could wane as you get older trough time, and so if you're concerned about that, you definitely want to get that blood test," said Dain Weister, of the Florida Department of Health.
With travel to Orlando at an all-time high, health officials are working with theme parks officials to make sure visitors remain safe.
"We are always working with them, communication on a regular basis just to make sure there are no problems," Weister said. "And if there is a case like this, they would start investigating immediately."
In addition to the measles vaccination, health officials are stressing the pertussis vaccination, as well. Several states have reported outbreaks of the whooping cough.
