14th person diagnosed with measles in Illinois

(Chicago)  Another infant at the KinderCare facility in Palatine has been diagnosed with measles, officials said Tuesday.

That brings the measles count in Illinois to 14, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.

Thirteen of the 14 cases are associated with a KinderCare Learning Center in Palatine.

The children all were reported as being under 1 year old, and therefore, too young to be vaccinated.

News of the cluster of cases at KinderCare broke two weeks ago. The national daycare chain has since made it mandatory that all staff members be vaccinated.
