Key Points:
- Lauren Shoup's 2-month-old daughter was exposed to measles at UPMC Children's Hospital during a routine appointment, along with nine other children.
- Shoup criticized the hospital for lacking proper protocols and failing to provide timely information about quarantine and preventing the spread of measles.
- After exposure, Shoup was told to contact the health department and experienced delays in receiving clear guidance, only later learning they should have quarantined immediately for 28 days.
- The hospital's website advises contacting a primary care physician immediately after exposure, but Shoup says this protocol was not followed, potentially exposing many others in the waiting room.
- The infant remains in quarantine as symptoms can take up to 21 days to appear, causing significant disruption to the family's activities and events; UPMC has not yet responded to requests for comment.
