The County’s warning notes that those who received two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine as a child — a group including more than 97 percent of students in public schools and more than 94 percent in private schools — are protected.

The traveler who contracted measles was exposed to the disease overseas, leaving the case unrelated to a cluster of Bay Area measles cases earlier this month, according to a Santa Clara County press release. That cluster occurred when three individuals from San Francisco, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, respectively, contracted measles on the same international flight.
