Measles Resurgence Hits Pennsylvania | Harrisburg News
Description
Pennsylvania’s facing a major measles outbreak—with over 100 confirmed cases, mostly in Lancaster County—marking a dangerous resurgence of a disease once thought eradicated. Falling vaccination rates below the critical 95% threshold have created perfect conditions for rapid spread, especially endangering infants and immunocompromised individuals. Measles is highly contagious, with symptoms appearing within two weeks and potentially causing severe long-term damage. Health officials are now recommending earlier vaccination for babies as young as six months, followed by a booster. Experts stress the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine and urge parents to consult their pediatricians to protect their children from this preventable threat.
