At least 82 children in Ohio infected with measles, more than half of whom are unvaccinated babies and toddlers

Measles is spreading among children in Ohio two months after cases were first detected. As of Wednesday morning, there are at least 82 cases of measles in central Ohio, officials said, all of which are children. 

Columbus Public Health first announced an investigation into the outbreak on Nov. 9 after four confirmed measles cases were linked to a child care facility in Franklin County. All of those cases were among unvaccinated children with no travel history, officials said, as Columbus Public Health Commissioner Dr. Mysheika Roberts urged parents to vaccinate their children. 

By the end of the month, cases were linked to several more sites, including Polaris Mall, a church and a grocery store.
