Oakland County health officials are working hard to get the spread of measles under control, especially since two confirmed patients also visited Detroit.

If you've been vaccinated your level of concern is minimum for the measles outbreak.

"As we see, maybe, fewer people getting vaccinated, we continue to see more cases," Leigh-Anne Stafford, a health officer in Oakland County, said.

In one week Oakland County health officials confirm eight people are infected with the highly contagious disease.
