The 2008 measles outbreak in California refers to a small outbreak of measles in San Diego, California in early 2008. The outbreak is traced to an unvaccinated 7-year-old child who went on a family trip to Europe. The CDC refers to this as an "import-associated outbreak". The incident drew attention to the controversy over vaccination. This was the county's first measles outbreak since 1991.
