CHICAGO (CBS) -- Chicago is ramping up vaccination efforts amid growing concerns over measles, as the numbef of confirmed cases continues to rise.
At last check, the Chicago Department of Public Health has confirmed 10 cases of measles since last Friday. Eight of those cases have been traced back to the city's largest migrant shelter, in Pilsen, including two migrant children who attend Chicago Public Schools.
While students typically are required to be vaccinated to enroll in school in Illinois, asylum seekers can be exempted from vaccination.
