"Chicago Migrant Shelter Measles Outbreak Prompts CDC Response"
Aldermen, including Spanish-speaking officials, are assisting in urging unvaccinated asylum-seekers at a Chicago migrant shelter to get vaccinated amid a measles outbreak, with seven reported cases. The presence of aldermen in this effort has sparked debate, with some questioning the use of elected officials instead of trained public health workers. The Chicago Department of Public Health, along with CDC assistance, is working to vaccinate residents and address concerns about stigmatization and vaccine misinformation. The outbreak highlights the challenges in vaccinating the asylum-seeker population and the strain on the city's health department resources.
