Fifteen cases have been confirmed so far in Illinois, with 14 of them in suburban Cook County this year, according to the department.
Sean McDermott, spokesman for the Cook County health department, said it’s unclear at this point whether there will be more vaccination clinics in response to measles cases.
“There could be, depending on how the outbreak moves forward,” he said.
He said the department refers those who do not have a primary care provider to Vista Health Center in Palatine.
