A measles outbreak along the Arizona-Utah border has resulted in over 150 cases, primarily in northwestern Mohave County, Arizona, and the southwest district of Utah, both of which have low vaccination rates (78.4% and 80.7% for kindergartners, respectively). The first probable case in Salt Lake City is uncooperative with health officials, hindering the investigation. Cases are spreading northward towards Salt Lake County, with eight cases reported in Utah County. Public health experts emphasize a 95% vaccination rate is crucial to control the outbreak.
