Wisconsin health authorities have confirmed a second child death linked to the state's ongoing measles outbreak, raising the toll as infections reach their highest level in 35 years.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services and Grant County Health Department announced the death Friday but withheld further details to protect the family's privacy.
Health authorities warn that unvaccinated people, young children, pregnant individuals and those with weakened immune systems face greater risks of severe complications.
State Health Officer Paula Tran urged residents to protect vulnerable communities and advised anyone exposed to measles to contact healthcare providers before visiting clinics.
Pennsylvania also reported its seventh measles-related death on Friday.
