First infant measle death in decades, doctors urge vaccination

Last spring, there was a confirmed case of measles in a UW-Madison student. UHS was able to successfully respond and continues to regularly monitor for the virus.

“Because vaccination rates aren’t the same as they were before, we’re starting to see the emergence of measles. We’re not excluded from that. The likelihood of having a measles case in our community is foreseeable,” Baggot said of the UW-Madison community.
