Utah health officials reported the state's first measles case in two years, an unvaccinated adult from Utah County with no out-of-state exposure. The individual visited several public locations while infectious, prompting health alerts for those present. Officials urge anyone with symptoms (high fever, cough, rash) to contact their doctor before seeking care to prevent further spread. While over 90% of Utahns are vaccinated, officials emphasize the importance of vaccination, especially for those who haven't received two doses, and recommend antibody testing for confirmation of immunity.
