Utah now has its first verified case of measles — and state health officials are urging Utahns to get up-to-date on their vaccinations.

The infected person is an adult from Utah County, the Department of Health and Human Services reported Friday. The person, who was not further identified, is unvaccinated and had no out-of-state exposures, indicating the infection was transmitted within Utah.

Before their diagnosis, the Utah County resident visited several public places during their infectious period, health officials said. People who were at those sites during or two hours after that person may have been exposed to measles.

Two of those locations were:

• The Parkway Health Center, 145 W. 1300 South, Orem, sometime on June 13. Health officials are trying to confirm a specific time.

• Timpanogos Regional ER, 750 W. 800 North, Orem, June 14, between 2:14 and 7:02 p.m.

DHHS is urging people who were in those locations at those times to monitor themselves for symptoms.
