Measles Surge Threatens U.S. Communities | Tulsa News
Description
Measles is surging in the U.S., with over 2,300 cases this year—already surpassing last year’s total and on track to be the worst outbreak since 1991. Outbreaks are exploding in states like South Carolina, Utah, and Arizona, where experts believe the true numbers are 3 to 4 times higher than reported due to underreporting and low vaccination rates. With measles-free status for the U.S. and Mexico potentially at risk, public health officials warn that protecting vulnerable populations—babies and immunocompromised individuals—depends on communities maintaining high vaccination coverage.
