Multi-State Measles Outbreaks

Multiple states are reporting cases of measles. Due to the increase in cases, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services is asking providers to:

1) Identify and vaccinate patients who are unvaccinated or behind schedule
2) Report any suspect cases of measles to your local health department, immediately
3) Ensure all staff are aware of your disease control measures

Please see the following memo for details, as well as information about clinical and lab criteria, and case classification.

Please do not reply directly to this email message. If you have a question, please email Connie Bell.
