Measles case confirmed in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has confirmed a case of measles in Wisconsin.

According to a release sent out Friday, the person lives in Dane County.

The DHS is working with two other organizations to identify and notify people who might have been exposed.

"Cases of measles have been rare in Wisconsin due to high vaccination rates, but measles is highly contagious and can cause serious health complications for those who are not vaccinated," the release said.
