First Wyoming Measles Case of 2026 Reported from Fremont County

The Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) has confirmed a case of measles in an adult from Fremont County with unconfirmed vaccination status. While everyone exposed is at risk of infection, the highest risks are to infants, non-immune pregnant women, and immunocompromised people. Measles is a highly contagious infection that can cause severe illness. This is the first reported case in Wyoming in 2026. Fifteen cases were reported in 2025.

Members of the public may have been exposed to measles at the following locations and times. The measles virus can remain in the air for up to two hours after an infectious individual leaves an area.

Walmart Supercenter, 1733 N Federal Blvd, Riverton, WY 82501

April 24, 2026, 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM

“We are asking individuals who were potentially exposed to self-monitor for measles symptoms for 21 days past the exposure date, and consider avoiding crowded public places or high-risk settings such as daycare centers,” said Dr. Alexia Harrist, State Health Officer with WDH.

People exposed to measles typically develop symptoms 7 to 21 days after exposure. Symptoms include: fever; cough; runny nose; red eyes; and, a characteristic rash that usually starts several days later on the face and spreads down the body.

If you believe you have been exposed and develop these symptoms, please contact your healthcare provider or local emergency room/urgent care by telephone regarding your symptoms. Calling ahead helps prevent additional exposures.

Monitoring for symptoms is especially critical for people who have not been vaccinated with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Infants less than 1 year old who are too young to receive the MMR vaccine, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals are at higher risk for infection and severe disease. WDH recommends these individuals contact their healthcare providers regarding their potential measles exposure, even if they have not developed symptoms. People who have received the MMR vaccine or were born before 1957 are generally considered immune and are unlikely to develop measles.

“Measles is one of the most contagious diseases we know, but it is preventable,” said Dr. Harrist. “The MMR vaccine is safe and highly effective, providing long-lasting protection. Two doses of MMR vaccine are about 97% effective in preventing measles, and we recommend that all Wyoming residents ensure they and their children are up to date on MMR vaccinations.”
