Officials investigate possible Wyoming measles case

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. (AP) - Officials say they’re investigating a possible case of measles in southwest Wyoming.

Sweetwater County school officials announced in mid-December that a junior high school student had come down with measles.

County health officials said Friday additional testing is being done but there’s no sign of an outbreak.

The Rock Springs Rocket-Miner reports Wyoming hasn’t had a measles case since at least 2010.

Sweetwater County officials say the measles immunization rate among schoolchildren in the county is better than 95 percent.
