Health agencies are trying to avert an outbreak of the measles.
The state health department says at least 15 cases of measles are confirmed in Michigan this year, the highest number of measles cases since 1994.
The Centers For Disease Control says a recent rash of measles brings the total to 142 in the U-S, with many connected to travel from other countries.
The state says Israel has hundreds of measles cases, especially among the Orthodox Jewish community, where many are not vaccinated.
State health says the way to avoid measles is immunization. They say the measles vaccine is effective and safe.
