Vermont DOH: Vermont Department of Health Confirms Case of Measles

3/11/2025

"WATERBURY, VT — The Vermont Department of Health has confirmed a case of measles in a school-aged child in Lamoille County. The child became sick after returning with their family from traveling internationally in recent days. The risk to the public is believed to be low, as the child has been isolated from most community settings while they have been contagious. Investigation is ongoing.

This is the first case of measles in Vermont in 2025, following two cases in 2024 and two cases in the decade prior, one in 2011 and one in 2018. This case is not related to the three ongoing domestic outbreaks of measles in the United States or to the current measles outbreak in Québec. "

$40,000,000 to restore the #BenningtonBattleMonument in #Vermont; $20,000,000 to tear it down. Tough choices. I love history and historical monuments, and the battle monument is fun to climb to the top of, but $40,000,000 to restore something that's only going to degrade again because of what it's built from doesn't make a lot of sense. vtdigger.org/2025/03/09/with-4
