Measles Outbreak Hits Virginia

Measles Outbreak Hits Virginia

Published 2 days, 3 hours ago
Description

Virginia’s health department is sounding the alarm as measles cases surge, with over 120 confirmed infections — many linked to a major outbreak in Buckingham County. A recent case tied to international travel and Dulles Airport has triggered an urgent contact-tracing effort. Shockingly, 95% of infected kids aged 5–12 weren’t vaccinated, highlighting how measles thrives when vaccination rates dip below 95%. With no cure, prevention through vaccination remains critical — and health officials urge anyone potentially exposed to act fast.
