Tuesday January 6, 2026

Full Press Release

Madison County, ID – Eastern Idaho Public Health is reporting a case of measles in a child in Eastern Idaho. The child is a resident of Madison County who was unvaccinated against measles. The child had traveled out of state to an area with an ongoing outbreak. It is likely they were exposed at this time. EIPH does not believe that they contracted measles locally.

The patient was seen by the Madison Health ER for symptoms of measles and was not hospitalized. Madison Health has reached out to those who were potentially exposed, all of whom were educated by infection control specialists.

Aside from the ER visit, this case reports self-isolation during the infectious period and is no longer contagious. EIPH is currently monitoring the household for potential infection.

EIPH will not publish a separate press release for additional cases within the case’s household.​..

In East Idaho, a vaccinated adult contracted measles near outbreak area in Wyoming

​In East Idaho, health officials are reporting that a vaccinated adult contracted measles in Teton County, near a Wyoming travel destination area that’s under an active measles outbreak.

The case marks Idaho’s 10th case of measles this year. That puts Idaho — like the rest of the U.S. — on track to outpace the state’s total case counts from last year, when the state reported 13 cases amid the U.S.’s worst outbreak of measles in decades.

The local health authority, Eastern Idaho Public Health, announced the latest case Wednesday afternoon, which is the first case recorded this year in Teton County, a rural area along the Wyoming border.

The regional health officials say that the public may have been exposed to measles more than a week ago at the Broulim’s grocery store in Driggs between 5:15 p.m. and 6 p.m. July 6. Officials say they are in contact with “individuals known to be exposed, and will continue to monitor the situation.”​...
