Revision History

Bay Area health officials are warning that a vaccinated Santa Clara County resident with a confirmed measles infection dined twice at a Burlingame Panda Express during peak lunch hours on February 23 and 24, 2026, potentially exposing dozens of patrons to one of the most contagious viruses known to science. The case — the Bay Area's fourth this year and California's 22nd — highlights how international travel, breakthrough infections, and eroding public health infrastructure are converging to make measles a persistent threat even in highly vaccinated communities.
