UPDATE FOR FACULTY AND STAFF ON SUSPECTED MEASLES

Sent via e-mail to all faculty and staff on Feb 19 at 8 p.m.

Dear Faculty and Staff:

We want to alert you to information that will be posted shortly to the University homepage regarding the suspected measles case on campus. Thank you for your attention to this important information:

As directed by the town of Princeton Health Department, Princeton University notified certain members of the faculty and staff on Thursday, Feb. 19, that they must provide proof of protection against measles. Those notified were born after Dec. 31, 1956, and were in buildings that a student who contracted a suspected case of measles visited while he may have been contagious.

The University took this action after the New Jersey Department of Health recommended and the municipal health department required that anyone who may have been exposed not work on campus until they prove they are protected against measles. Proof can be provided by submitting immunization records or by getting a blood test that is available through Employee Health Services or an individual’s physician.

Members of the faculty and staff who have not received an email notification are asked to review the following list of buildings and times, which has been expanded since first notice on the suspected measles case was sent Wednesday.

If you were in any of these buildings at these times and were born after Dec. 31, 1956, and have not received an email regarding the requirements of the Princeton Health Department, please call Employee Health Services at 609-258-5035 for instructions.
