A measles alert sign hangs outside the entrance to the Cohen Children's Medical Center.
\n\nA baby has died during the measles outbreak in southwestern Wisconsin, state health officials said. It is the first measles-related death in Wisconsin in more than three decades, and the coroner named measles as the immediate cause.
\n\nThe Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) shared the news on Thursday, Nov. 5. The last time anyone in the state died of measles was in 1990.
\n\nDHS Secretary Kirsten Johnson said the loss has left her deeply saddened. “My heart is broken for the family,” she said. She pointed out that the death of any child is a tragedy, and that it hurts even more when the cause is a disease that vaccines can prevent. Johnson urged people across Wisconsin to think about their own risk and take steps to protect their families.
