North Dakota measles cases rise to 12, Williston Band Day Parade attendees exposed
North Dakota’s measles outbreak has climbed to 12 cases, with the latest reported in Williams County. Health officials are closely monitoring exposures, including at Williston’s Band Day Parade and a local Tractor Supply store. The outbreak has led to quarantines for about 150 unvaccinated students in Williston schools. Officials stress that while most vaccinated individuals are protected, falling vaccination rates since the pandemic have increased risks. Measles can be serious, especially for young children, and early vaccination is now urged in affected areas. Grant Coursey with Bismarck Tribune has the full story.
