Date: April 16th, 2026 7:03 PM Author: UN peacekeeper Nearly 600 people, mostly children, have been sickened with measles across Utah since last summer. And unlike other recent outbreaks the virus appears to be spreading through the broader population.
The rise comes as Utah has seen an increase in vaccine exemptions among young children. Since measles is one of the most contagious diseases, health officials say that vaccination rates need to be about 95 percent or higher to stem an outbreak.
