10 Measles Cases Reported in Minnesota This Week, All Related to Travel

The Minnesota Department of Health confirmed 10 new measles cases since Sept. 29 in the Twin Cities metro, raising Minnesota's 2025 total to 18 and issued guidance on Oct. 1.
All 10 new cases were linked to recent domestic or international travel, and none of the infected people were vaccinated, Minnesota Department of Health said.
MDH noted vaccine protection levels and dosing guidance: the MMR vaccine is about 93% effective after one dose and 97% after a second, and children as young as 6 months can get an early MMR dose for high-risk travel.
Myra Kunas and MDH urged families to update vaccinations, use Find My Immunization Record, and call health care providers before clinics, noting measles' high contagion and prevalence this year.
Minnesota's 86.53% kindergarten vaccination rate places it among the lowest, amid a nationwide surge of more than 1,500 cases and three measles-related deaths, the CDC reports.
