40 YEARS AGO: The Stanislaus County Health Department planned to give out free immunizations to county residents over a two-day period in response to a measles outbreak that sickened 22 Beyer High School students. Dr. Kem Kelly, assistant county health officer, said the measles variation that hit the students was rubeola, also know as the “hard measles,” which can cause serious complications. The symptoms from the disease include high fever, coughing, runny nose and red eyes, culminating with a body rash. Once the outbreak was verified, the county ordered 2,000 doses of vaccine from the state Department of Health.
