Clark County, Washington health officials confirmed Wednesday that they have diagnosed 14 cases of measles, and three suspected cases, so far this year.

All of the measles outbreaks have been among children.

The county published a long list of possible exposure sites on its website — including medical clinics, churches and elementary schools in Vancouver. Health officials say people may have also been exposed at the Portland International Airport and the nearby IKEA store.

Clark County says it is requiring students and staff who do not have proof of measles immunity to stay out of schools and child care settings.

Anyone who believes they have symptoms of the measles should contact their health care provider or county health department.

The county established a hotline related to the outbreak.
