Measles Spreads in Wisconsin | Milwaukee News

Measles is surging in Wisconsin with 36 confirmed and 3 probable cases linked across three counties — and it’s spreading locally, not from travelers. The virus is airborne and super contagious — you can catch it just by being in a room where someone had it. Unvaccinated people are at highest risk; the MMR vaccine offers 97% protection with two doses. Nationally, falling vaccination rates below the critical 95% threshold are fueling outbreaks, and Wisconsin is feeling the impact. If you’re unsure if you’re up to date, check with your provider or the Wisconsin Immunization Registry — staying vaccinated is your best defense.
