The #measles outbreak in and round Columbus, Ohio continues to grow. There have now been 73 cases in children under the age of 17; 26 of these kids were hospitalized at a point. 56 of these kids were old enough to have had at least 1 dose of vaccine; only 4 did. https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/columbus/viz/MeaslesPublicReport/MeaslesPublicReport?publish=yes
Mornin' verse. Discussed development of message maps with one of the epi folks for the nuclear power plant drill in June. Provided background information on common citizen concerns. I hope that the rapidly searchable database of questions will be useful to senior leadership during the graded exercise.
