Measles in the Tetons: Why we might be seeing the outbreak now

from State of Jackson · host KHOL - Jackson Hole Community Radio

Five measles cases so far this year are the first seen in Teton County in decades. The outbreak is concentrated in a communal living center for workers at a tourist concession in Grand Teton National Park. It comes amidst a national 35-year high for the highly contagious, sometimes lethal disease. Teton County Public Health Director Dr. Travis Riddell joins cohost Pete Muldoon to talk about how to protect yourself and why a fabricated association between the measles vaccine and autism 30 years ago could be one reason for the spread we’re seeing now.
