TL;DR Summary

Four students at Manatee Bay Elementary School in Weston, Florida have been confirmed to have measles, with three additional cases since the first confirmation. The school district is working closely with the Florida Department of Health to follow guidelines and safeguard the community. While 92% of the school's 1,067 students are vaccinated, 85 students are not. Medical experts urge parents of unvaccinated children who may have been exposed to contact their pediatrician, as measles is highly contagious and can lead to severe symptoms. The school has been deep-cleaned, and the district is awaiting guidance from the health department on how to proceed.
