Officials from the Department of Health and Welfare (DHW) and Panhandle Health District (PHD) are announcing the third confirmed case of measles in an Idaho resident. This most recent case is an unvaccinated child in Bonner County. There is currently no known link between the Bonner County case and the Kootenai County case that was announced last week. One other case of measles was announced in Eastern Idaho this month as well.
