The South Carolina Department of Public Health has identified a person with measles who visited the Kanpai of Tokyo restaurant in Spartanburg, S.C. on Nov. 2. Anyone who was at the restaurant during that time is urged to contact their healthcare provider if they may have been exposed, particularly if they do not have immunity to measles or if they develop symptoms. The MMR vaccine is the most effective way of protecting oneself against measles, and anyone who is not up to date on vaccination is encouraged to receive a dose of the vaccine.
