Measles Outbreaks Surge: Vaccines Key to Prevention

Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

Measles outbreaks surge in the U.S. and Canada, with over nine hundred cases reported this year alone. Despite recent outbreaks ending in South Carolina and West Texas, the U.S. is on track for its worst year since measles was eliminated in 2000. Canada lost its measles-free status last November and has seen over nine hundred cases so far. Health organizations are calling for better tracking, quicker responses, and more vaccinations to close immunity gaps. Manitoba has taken steps to increase vaccine access by empowering pharmacists to vaccinate children and teens. Staying vigilant with vaccines is crucial to preventing future outbreaks.
