🚨 Measles Update: Cases Rising in California

According to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), as of early February 2026, nine confirmed measles cases have been reported in California, with six identified in just the past week.

Most cases are linked to international travel, and none of the individuals had documented MMR vaccination. National measles activity is also increasing, raising the risk of additional cases and healthcare exposures.

Measles is highly contagious and spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or even talks. The virus can remain in the air for up to two hours, putting unvaccinated individuals at serious risk.

⚠️ Know the Symptoms (“3 Cs” + Fever & Rash). Be alert for⤵
✔️ Fever
✔️ Rash
✔️ Cough
✔️ Coryza (runny nose)
✔️ Conjunctivitis (red eyes)

❗Risk is higher with ⤵
✔ Recent international travel
✔ Exposure at airports
✔ Contact with international visitors

If you suspect measles, call your healthcare provider before visiting a clinic.

Vaccination Is the Best Protection 💜
The MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine is safe and highly effective ⤵
✔️ 2 doses provide about 97% protection
✔️ Unvaccinated individuals have up to a 90% risk of infection if exposed

Vaccination is especially important for ⤵
- Young children (2-dose schedule starting at 12–15 months)
- K–12 students, college students, and adults not up to date
- Anyone planning international travel
- Infants (6 - 11 months) traveling internationally - early dose recommended
*Please follow current CDPH age-specific guidance for MMR vaccination.

Measles outbreaks, like the one many remember from last winter, remind us how important vaccination conversations are. Vaccines remain one of the most effective tools to protect our communities and prevent serious complications. They save lives.

📞 To schedule a MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccination at Elica Health Centers, please call 916-454-2345.

Stay informed! Stay protected! Get vaccinated!

When You Might Not Need to Sign Up for Medicare at 65 and When It’s Risky ⚠️

Many people think that if they already have insurance, they can safely delay Medicare.
But it depends on the type of coverage.

1️⃣ If You Have Employer Coverage
You can delay Part B and Part D without penalties only if your insurance is considered “creditable” - meaning it is at least as good as Medicare coverage.
❗Important: Coverage for medical services (comparable to Part B) and prescription drugs (comparable to Part D) are evaluated separately. Even if your medical plan qualifies, your drug plan might not be creditable. If you skip Part D without creditable coverage, a 1% per month late enrollment penalty will start accruing for life.

Also, the size of your employer matters⤵️
✔ 20 or more employees, employer coverage can be primary, and you can defer Part B if the coverage is creditable.
✔ Fewer than 20 employees - Medicare is usually primary. Skipping Part B could leave you without main coverage and incur penalties.

📄 Employers are required to issue an annual notice stating whether coverage is creditable. Keep this document for your records.

If you’re unsure, contact HR or your employer in writing to confirm:
✔ Is your medical coverage creditable for Part B?
✔ Is your drug coverage creditable for Part D?
Do not rely on verbal answers, always get written confirmation.

2️⃣ If You Have Medi-Cal
Medi-Cal does not replace Medicare.
If you become eligible for Medicare, you are required to enroll in Part A and Part B, even if you already have Medi-Cal.

Medi-Cal will not automatically cancel. Once enrolled, you become dual eligible ⤵
✔ Medicare - primary insurance
✔ Medi-Cal - secondary, covering premiums, co-pays, and extra services

Failing to enroll in Medicare on time can result in lifetime penalties for Part B and Part D, even if you have Medi-Cal ❗

💡 Key Rule
You can only delay Medicare if you have officially confirmed creditable coverage. Medi-Cal does not exempt you from enrolling in Medicare.

Medicare is a system of deadlines. A mistake today could cost you lifetime extra payments.
