Episode Details

Measles is spreading in southwestern Wisconsin, with two new cases confirmed in Grant County—bringing the regional total to 39 cases. Health officials are urgently tracing contacts and urging anyone with symptoms—high fever, cough, runny nose, and a red rash—to stay home and call their doctor. The virus is highly contagious and can cause pneumonia, brain damage, or deafness. Thankfully, measles is preventable: two MMR vaccine doses are 97% effective. Check your vaccination status via Wisconsin’s Immunization Registry or your healthcare provider—and get vaccinated if you’re not up to date. Protection starts with a shot at your doctor’s office, clinic, or pharmacy.
