MADISON (WKOW) -- The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) confirmed Friday someone in Dane County was diagnosed with measles. According to a news release, the person lives in Dane County and has "travel and employment" in Rock County. Public Health Madison & Dane County and Rock County Public Health are in the process of identifying and notifying people who may 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 news release stated. "The best way to protect yourself from measles is to get the measles vaccine (MMR)." DHS reports two doses of the MMR vaccine have a 97% efficacy rate in preventing measles.
