Two unvaccinated children have tested positive for measles, and River HomeLink in Clark County has been identified as a possible exposure site. The reported exposure window is September 17, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
KPTV reported that Clark County Public Health identified River HomeLink as a place where others may have been exposed. The station said the two children with confirmed cases are unvaccinated and that anyone at the school during the stated hours on September 17 may have been exposed.
Location Details Remain Unclear
The school’s location is described differently in the available sources. KPTV places River HomeLink in Battle Ground, Oregon, while the school’s website identifies it as a public school in Battle Ground, Washington, at 610A SW Eaton Blvd. The discrepancy has not been resolved in the available reporting.
Anyone who was at the school during the identified window and develops symptoms should contact a health-care provider before going to a medical office, KPTV reported. Calling ahead allows clinics to take steps to avoid exposing other patients.
Monitoring After Exposure
Washington State Department of Health’s general guidance says people who are not immune or are unsure of their vaccination status should stay home and avoid contact with others for 21 days after exposure while watching for symptoms. The department does not identify this as a River HomeLink-specific order: Washington State Department of Health. This school alert is distinct from Clark County’s 2019 measles outbreak. OPB reported that the earlier outbreak resulted in 71 cases in Clark County, excluding additional linked cases in Oregon and King County, Washington.
What Comes Next for Families
