      El Al Passengers Asked to Get Measles Shots


      A 13-year-old girl who traveled on an El Al flight from New York City to Israel on Monday has been diagnosed with measles.  The flight in question was #002, which left New York at 9:35 p.m. local time and arrived in Israel at 2:33 p.m. on Monday.

      The Health Ministry is asking anyone who traveled on the flight who is not vaccinated against measles to visit the ministry and receive a vaccine.  The ministry will be open until 1:00 p.m. on Friday to those seeking a vaccination.
