Health officials are disappointed another case of measles has surfaced in Minnesota after going three weeks without a new one.  State Health Department’s Kris Ehresmann says measles seeks out unvaccinated individuals

 

Ehresmann says there’s “definitely a potential for ongoing transmission of measles.”  Forty-two days — two measles “incubation cycles” — must elapse with no new cases for officials to declare that this year’s outbreak is over.   Seventy-nine cases have been reported in Minnesota so far, the most since 1990.
