(WFRV) – Officials with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) have reportedly confirmed a case of measles in a person living in Dane County.
The DHS is working with county officials to identify and notify people who may have been exposed to the measles virus. More information will reportedly be shared as the investigation continues.
The release from the DHS says that cases of measles are in Wisconsin due to the high vaccination rates. However, measles is described as highly contagious and can cause serious health complications for those who are not vaccinated.
Wisconsinites can find their immunization records on the DHS’s website.
Those who think they may have measles are asked to call their local doctor’s office or clinic before visiting a location.
No additional information was provided.
