State and local health officials are warning that anyone who visited an Oregon City urgent care clinic on April 10 or April 11 may have been exposed to measles, and they want people to dig up their vaccination records fast.

The potential exposure happened at the Legacy GoHealth urgent care center on McLoughlin Boulevard during two specific windows: Friday, April 10 from about 9:09 a.m. to 12:22 p.m., and Saturday, April 11 from about 1:12 p.m. to 3:48 p.m. Officials say anyone who was in the clinic at those times should check their measles vaccination status and call a health care provider promptly.

The Oregon Health Authority lists Legacy GoHealth Urgent Care as a potential exposure site and urges anyone who was there during those time frames to contact their health care provider and explain they may have been exposed. The agency is maintaining official guidance plus a running list of exposure locations and timing on its measles information page.

Clackamas County Public Health sounded the alarm on Facebook on April 14, repeating the same exposure windows and urging people to talk with their health care provider about their individual risk. The county points out that providers can confirm immunity through vaccination records, age, or lab evidence of a past measles infection, according to Clackamas County.

What To Do If You Were There

If you were in the clinic during the listed times and do not have proof of immunity, public health guidance says you may still have post exposure options. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that an MMR vaccine given within 72 hours of exposure can prevent or lessen illness, and that immunoglobulin (IG) given within six days can be used for people who cannot receive the vaccine, according to the CDC.

Local Outbreak Context

Oregon has been issuing multiple exposure alerts this spring as officials track both confirmed cases and measles detections in wastewater. The Oregon Health Authority measles page includes statewide case counts and a wastewater surveillance dashboard that public health teams are using to monitor spread. The state site shows several confirmed cases in 2026 and repeatedly stresses that vaccination remains the main line of defense.

Where To Get Help

People who are worried they might have been exposed are urged to call their primary care provider first rather than walking into a clinic without notice, which could increase the risk of transmission in waiting rooms. Clackamas County Public Health offers measles resources, vaccine information, and operates a 24/7 communicable disease reporting line at 503 655 8411.
