A measles case has been confirmed in a child from Lamoille County, Vermont, following their return from an international trip. Officials reported that the child is isolated while contagious, reducing public risk. This marks the first measles case in Vermont this year, raising concern amidst rising national and international cases attributed to increased unvaccinated populations. The Vermont Department of Health is monitoring visitors at Copley Hospital's Emergency Department and advising precautions for potential exposure.
"The positive measles test result in Vermont was confirmed Monday evening... The department did not say whether the child was vaccinated against the disease."
