Kentucky Health officials are reporting another measles case.
The second case occurred in March in a child who was not a resident of the United States.
They were diagnosed at a health care facility in Kentucky, which is why the case will be counted as a Kentucky incident.
The facility adhered to strict safety protocols, eliminating the risk of spread to other patients.
Results from the most recent assessment of kindergarten vaccines in Kentucky show that immunization coverage has dropped to the lowest rates in over seven years.
The MMR vaccine is legally required for school attendance in Kentucky.
