About 2,000 people may have been exposed to measles at Utah event

Several people have been infected with measles after they were exposed to the virus at an August cycling event at Soldier Hollow, the Utah Department of Health and Human Services reports.

About 2,000 people attended the Utah High School Cycling League event on Aug. 16, according to the department. Four measles cases have been confirmed among the attendees; none of them were vaccinated, the department said.

The health department said it is working with the Utah High School Cycling League to inform families and race participants of their possible exposure to measles.

The event was a competition for teen cyclists in the league’s region 6, whose teams come largely from southern Utah from St. George to Moab, and as far north as Utah County.

It resets the immune system so most prior immunities are wiped out. Nasty stuff.

I had measles when I was 7.

I never got the vaccine, but I would
have if it were available.
