  • CDC data show the unvaccinated child visited Casper hospital’s waiting room on June 24 and 25, risking infection for nine out of ten exposed individuals.
  • Wyoming Department of Health is notifying exposed individuals to self-monitor for 21 days and avoid high-risk settings, following the first measles case in 15 years in Casper.
  • Across the US, Wyoming becomes the 37th state with a measles case as nationwide cases approach a 30-year high of 1,227.
