(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- There's a second case of measles in suburban Cook County.
A man in Cicero who contracted measles spent time at the Super Mercado Torres on West 25th Street from April 6-10.
The Cook County Department of Public Health said anyone unvaccinated or experiencing symptoms of measles who visited that store those days should call a health care provider immediately.
“People who visited the market on these days should know that they are most likely safe from developing measles if they previously received two doses of MMR vaccine", Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck, the county health department’s chief operating officer, said in a news release.
In Illinois, there have been 64 confirmed cases of measles this year, most of which happened in Chicago.
Since early March, more than 14,000 doses of the measles vaccine have been administered in Chicago, and the health department continues to offer vaccinations at clinics and “landing zones” where migrants arrive in the city.
The Chicago Sun-Times Media Wire contributed to this report.
