Measles Spreads in Wisconsin | Chicago News

from Chicago News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Measles is surging in Wisconsin with 15 confirmed and 6 probable cases reported in just one week—up from just two cases the prior Tuesday. Officials are scrambling, bringing in the CDC to track the outbreak, which appears to be spreading locally, not from travel. With measles highly contagious and symptoms appearing 10–21 days after exposure, experts urge everyone to check their vaccination status and consider a booster if vaccinated between 1957–1989. As nationwide outbreaks grow and vaccination rates dip below the critical 95% threshold, staying informed and calling ahead before visiting a clinic is key to stopping further spread.
