(July 11, 2025) – Measles cases in Kansas have reached 87 cases across 11 counties, according to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment's Measles Dashboard. Eighty-four of the cases are outbreak-related. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and local health departments continue to respond to measles cases in Kansas. On July 7, KDHE informed the public of a measles exposure that occurred on a pediatric unit at a facility in Wichita, so individuals can take steps to protect their health and help prevent further spread. There is no risk of measles exposure outside of the specific unit, dates and times listed.
For the detailed notification, see KDHE's July 7 measles exposure notice. Individuals who were not in the affected unit during that time, including those in other parts of the facility or its departments, are not considered exposed. For additional information and resources to respond to questions, address suspected or confirmed measles cases, as well as encouraging immunization, here are a few measles resources pages to consult: American Academy Pediatrics Measles page, KDHE Measles Resources, KHA Measles Resources and Immunize Kansas Coalition, including the new Ask a Doctor series with pediatrician Gretchen Homan, MD, FAAP.
