ANN ARBOR -- Students at an Ann Arbor elementary school who haven't gotten their shots are being told to stay home as health officials work to confirm a possible measles outbreak.
At least one case has been confirmed and two other students at Burns Park Elementary may have been infected.
District spokeswoman Liz Margolis tells The Ann Arbor News that the first case involves a student who apparently contracted the disease overseas. Two more students reported symptoms on Wednesday. Tests are being run on those students to determine if they have measles.
The district mandates all students provide proof of immunization when enrolling.
Margolis says 10 students at the school are not immunized.
***The article does not say that all three students WERE immunized with the MMR.

In a report I saw they stated that the kids who had the measles or signs of were given MMR. That was one of the reasons they were so worried. Accoding to the report it is rare to have a child who has had MMR get measles. It is scary. I think either way there risk involved. It is confusing to know what the best course of action is.
