#maui measles

The goal of Walmart Wellness Day is to help customers get back on track with preventive health measures they may have missed over the past year, especially as many families prepare for in-person work and school this fall.

Health officials are investigating a possible new measles case on Maui, but say there are no “confirmed” cases so far for 2015. Ronald Balajadia, Immunization Branch Chief for the Department of Health tells Maui Now that the report is currently under investigation.

The state Department of Health has confirmed four additional cases of measles on Maui and Kauaʻi, bringing the total number of confirmed measles cases in these two separate clusters in Hawaiʻi to seven, and the total reported cases for the year to nine.
