Measles Surge Threatens U.S. Kids | Australia News
Description
Measles is roaring back in the U.S. with over 2,300 cases this year—already surpassing all of last year and hitting a 35-year high. Most cases? Unvaccinated folks, especially kids under 19, with one-fifth under five. Hospitalizations are rising, though no deaths yet. The drop in MMR shots since the pandemic has pushed vaccination rates below the 95% needed for herd immunity, sparking outbreaks across 45 states. This isn’t just numbers—it’s a wake-up call to protect our communities from a preventable disease.
