As always, the safety of ABOG’s candidates and examiners is of paramount importance. At ABOG, we are watching the measles outbreak closely. There are currently no cases of measles recorded in Dallas County where the ABOG National Center is located. The majority of cases, 174/259 thus far, have been reported in far west Texas related to an individual community where vaccine penetrance is low. Following the CDC recommendations for personal vaccination with MMR vaccine could be considered if one is not vaccinated in order to enhance protection.
