Clark County Public Health, Vancouver Clinic Partnering On Measles Exposure Notification - 07/22/26

VANCOUVER, WA—Vancouver Clinic is working with Clark County Public Health to reach out to patients and staff who may have been exposed to the measles virus on July 17 at Salmon Creek 1 between the hours of 1:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. An unvaccinated child was in the building during that time and has since tested positive for measles.

People who are vaccinated are considered well-protected against measles. The two-dose MMR series is 97% effective and provides long-term immunity. If you are not vaccinated against measles or are not immune, it’s important to know what to do if you need medical care. 

For the health and safety of our patients and employees, Vancouver Clinic asks any patient who believes they may have measles symptoms to call us in advance at 360-882-2778. Common measles symptoms include: runny nose, cough, red irritated eyes, rash, and fever. 

Calling ahead allows our teams to determine the best way to provide your care. We may recommend a virtual appointment or arrange to meet outside first, allowing us to quickly address your needs while limiting the risk of exposure to others.

Vancouver Clinic offers Nurse Advice for our patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call 360-882-2778 and press the Nurse Advice option. On-demand and scheduled virtual Urgent Care visits are also available. See care options: https://www.tvc.org/urgent-care/.
