Health officials have identified potential measles exposures in Richmond and Olive Hill, Kentucky. An unvaccinated, out-of-state traveler visited several establishments in these communities on August 24, August 27, and August 28, 2026.
Measles is a highly contagious respiratory virus that can cause serious health complications, especially in young children. Vaccination is the best protection against measles. Immunization against measles comes through the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.

If you believe you may have been exposed to measles:
-Check your immunity: Verify if you have received the MMR vaccine or have medical proof of immunity.

-Monitor yourself for symptoms: watch for high fever, cough, runny nose, red, watery eyes, and a rash for 21 days following the exposure.

-Contact your health care provider: Call your doctor or the local health department immediately if you develop symptoms or have questions.

Small word changes can make a big difference. Here are a few to remember:
Instead of "addict" or "user," try person with a substance use disorder or person who uses drugs.

Instead of "clean" or "dirty" (for a drug test), try testing positive or testing negative. We use these same words for other health tests, too.

Instead of "former addict," try person in long-term recovery.

These aren't just "nicer" words. They're more true. A substance use disorder is a real illness. It's not a bad choice or a weak will. Using kind, correct words can help someone feel less judged — and safe enough to ask for help.

Team Kentucky is committed to protecting the health and safety of all Kentuckians, including by promoting childhood vaccines, which help protect every child’s chance to grow up healthy.

No changes have been made to Kentucky’s vaccine requirements for children to attend school or daycare, and childhood vaccines continue to be covered by insurance in accordance with state and federal law. Medical and religious exemptions are still allowed.
Decades of research show that routine childhood vaccines are safe and effective when given according to the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations. There is no new evidence to support changing the recommended immunization schedule for children.

The Kentucky Department for Public Health encourages families to talk with their pediatrician or other trusted health care provider about recommended vaccines and how best to protect their children and loved ones.
