SEATTLE (AP) — King County Public Health officials say there is little risk to the public from a woman who came down with measles.

Officials say the woman, who was not vaccinated, was exposed to the disease during international travel. She developed symptoms on Dec. 12, and officials say members of the public could have possibly been exposed between Dec. 11 through Dec. 20 at several locations in Kirkland, Redmond and Bellevue.

Public Health says most people in the Seattle area are vaccinated against measles, so the risk to the general population is low.
