In South Bend, Indiana, the St. Joseph County Department of Health is urging residents to take precautions against measles following a recent increase in cases across the United States. Health officials are particularly concerned about individuals who attended the solar eclipse at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis on April 8, as they may have been exposed to someone with the disease.
To address this issue, St. Joseph County is launching a summer vaccination program from April to August. This initiative aims to encourage community members to prioritize their health and protect themselves against preventable diseases like measles. Residents can receive a vaccine at any of the three health department locations and have the opportunity to enter a raffle to win a $100 gift card.

It’s important to stay informed and take proactive steps to safeguard your well-being and that of those around you. Let’s work together to promote a healthier future for our community.
