In 2011, my fully vaccinated 16-year-old daughter contracted measles from an unvaccinated classmate.

She's Patient 2 in this CDC outbreak report.

Now in 2026, we're repeating history. Once again, the chronically ill and immunocompromised will pay the price. 🧵

On April 5, 2011, a health-care provider notified the Salt Lake Valley Health Department (SLVHD) of an unvaccinated Salt Lake County resident aged 16 years with generalized rash (onset April 4) and a 3-day history of sore throat and fever (101.7°F [38.7°C]) (Table). When investigated by public health officials on April 6, the patient had a morbilliform rash, cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, and Koplik spots, and reported no recent travel or contact with ill persons. Serum collected on April 5 was positive for measles immunoglobulin M (IgM). On April 7, SIVHD announced that a measles case had been confirmed. On April 8, a health-care provider notified SLVHD that an unvaccinated Salt Lake County patient aged 15 years had sought care in late March with generalized rash (onset March 21), fever (103.7°F [39.8°C]), cough, coryza, and conjunctivitis. The patient had traveled in Europe during March 3-17. No measles testing was performed during the acute illness. Serum collected on April 8 was measles IgM-positive. This patient had attended a school class on March 21 with the patient reported previously. Five additional Salt Lake County residents were confirmed to have measles, with the last rash onset on April 17, 2011 (Figure).
