SALT LAKE CITY — An unvaccinated child in Utah County is the latest Utahn reported to have measles, bringing the total count to 10 cases in Utah County.
This child is under the age of 5, Utah County Health Department‘s public information officer Aislynn Tolman-Hill said.
“We do know that their immediate family is vaccinated,” Tolman-Hill said. “But this individual was just not able to be vaccinated yet.”
The family had traveled out of state for the Thanksgiving holiday. The Utah County Health Department suspected the child was infected there.
“Our last case was announced on October 31st,” Tolman-Hill said. “It’s likely that we will see additional cases with additional holidays coming up.“
The family and child were at the Macey’s grocery store in Provo on December 2nd. Tolman-Hill advised those who may notice symptoms should call a hospital or doctor’s office before they go into work or school.
“It’s really important to call that healthcare provider or call the hospital before going because there will be certain protocols and certain things that that healthcare provider will have you do so that you don’t expose others,” Tolman-Hill said.
