Utah marks a year of battling measles, with no clear end in sight

Utah has battled measles outbreaks for a year, with over 680 cases reported since June 2025. The disease spread across 22 of 29 counties, fueled by low vaccination rates, particularly in rural areas like Daggett, Duchesne, and Uintah counties. Health officials warn that falling vaccination rates and seasonal factors could lead to further surges.
