Arizona health officials are keeping tabs on 1,000 people, including almost 200 children, who may have been exposed to measles at the Phoenix Children's East Valley Medical Center.

Hundreds of people may have been exposed to measles after a second case stemming from the outbreak at Disneyland was diagnosed. After a family of four was diagnosed with the virus while vacationing in Disneyland earlier this month, California has detected up to 60 cases of measles, while a handful of other states have reported several cases.
