| - A daycare center at a Southern California high school has been closed and more than a dozen infants placed under three-week quarantine after a baby enrolled in the program was diagnosed with measles, a school district official said on Monday. The move comes as public health officials reported that more than 100 people across the United States were infected with measles, many of them traced to an outbreak that began at the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim in December. The child, who is under a year old and therefore unvaccinated, was enrolled in the daycare center at Santa Monica High School, said Gail Pinsker, spokeswoman for the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District. A freshman baseball coach at Santa Monica High School was diagnosed with measles last month, but Pinsker said the two cases were not connected and that the coach had recovered from his illness. "There is concern in the community over this. This is a concerning disease," she said. "Over the last couple weeks we've encouraged families to get students immunized." Pinsker said that the "infant room" at the daycare center had been closed indefinitely following the diagnosis and that 14 other babies enrolled there had been placed under 21-day quarantine on the orders of Los Angeles County health officials. wrote:

| I agree! It's definitely coming back to bite them in the ass! It's horrible that children who are not old enough or can't get the vaccine are now suffering. |
