Ottumwa Pizza Ranch hits slow period after measles exposure alert

Iowa health officials named Pizza Ranch in Ottumwa a possible measles exposure site, contributing to a 50% drop in business according to the owner. Officials say exposure does not guarantee infection and vaccination is the best protection, especially for the unvaccinated. A list of additional exposure locations and times across central/southern Iowa was released, and there are no immediate plans for a measles vaccination clinic, though that could change if needed.
