Overview
- The infection was lab-confirmed in an unvaccinated adult resident, marking the county’s first case during the current outbreak.
- Officials report the patient had no known contact with a measles case, indicating spread within the community, according to director Dorothy Adams.
- People who were at Intermountain Health’s Taylorsville InstaCare at 3845 W. 4700 South on Nov. 7 from 3:00 to 7:15 p.m. may have been exposed.
- Because measles can linger in the air for up to two hours, those present during that timeframe should verify MMR vaccination status and consult a provider if concerned.
- County epidemiologists are notifying potential contacts as Utah’s statewide total exceeds 70 cases this year during a broader national surge.
