The Tennessee Department of Health says people could have been exposed to measles at two gas stations in East Tennessee; one in Chattanooga.
Health officials say they were able to pinpoint the locations while investigating a case of measles in an East Tennessee resident.
The two locations in East Tennessee and the possible time periods of exposure are:
- Mapco at 200 Browns Ferry Road, Chattanooga, TN, on April 11 between 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm EST
- Speedway at 2148 North Charles G. Seivers Blvd., Clinton, TN, on April 12 between 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm EST
The Tennessee Department of Health said if you visited either of these gas stations during the specified dates and times, you should do the following: Check your vaccination status, if you are not immune to measles, watch for symptoms of the illness, and if you develop measles symptoms, stay home and contact your health care provider.
Health officials are urging anyone in Tennessee who has not been vaccinated to do so.

U.S. Marshals arrested a fugitive in Bradley County on Tuesday who was wanted in New Hampshire.
Officials say 27-year-old James Trott was wanted for felony intimidation/stalking. He was not allowed to have a gun and had possible gang affiliation.
Officials say Trott threatened his own life and the lives of any officer who tried to arrest him. He was believed to be armed and dangerous.
Investigators learned that Trott was living with a relative in Bradley County and was arrested at that relative’s home by Cleveland police on April 23rd, without incident.
Trott is being extradited to New Hampshire to face his charges.
