California day care center shuts down after baby contracts measles

By Dan Whitcomb LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A day care center at a Southern California high school has been closed after a baby enrolled in the program was diagnosed with measles amid an outbreak that has already infected more than 100 people nationwide, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday. The infant was enrolled at the child-care center at Santa Monica High School, where a freshman baseball coach contracted measles last month, the Times reported. A spokeswoman for the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School district could not immediately be reached for comment by Reuters. The spokeswoman told the Times that the baby was under the age of 12 months and therefore could not be immunized for measles.
