“Since August 2022, approximately 41,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago, Illinois from the U.S. southern border (3); most (88%) are from Venezuela, a country with a recent decline in routine childhood immunization coverage, including with measles vaccine (4). On February 22, 2024, approximately 12,000 persons were residing in 27 temporary migrant shelters operated by the city of Chicago. The largest shelter (shelter A) is a congregate setting with shared sleeping areas, dining area, and bathrooms. On February 22, 2024, approximately 2,100 persons resided in shelter A, with some rooms housing 500 or more persons.”
Many illegals already infected had migrated to other cities causing the spread of the measles disease.
