An adult got measles after traveling to Chihuahua, Mexico -- which is seeing an outbreak right now.

That person had received a vaccine at some point.

People who were at the Kaiser Permanente urgent care center at its Lakewood medical offices on Alameda Avenue on Saturday from 10:30 a.m. until noon should monitor for symptoms.
