Measles Is Back and Vaccines Are Key | Orlando News
Description
Measles is roaring back in the U.S. with over 2,200 confirmed cases—surpassing last year’s total—and hitting 30-year highs. Hotspots include Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Florida, where record outbreaks are hitting kids and teens, with 93% of cases linked to unvaccinated or unknown-status individuals. No deaths this year, but three last year—and with measles lingering in the air for hours, the virus is a serious threat. Experts warn that without 95% vaccination rates, the U.S. risks losing its measles-free status. If you or your kids show fever, cough, or rash, isolate and call your doctor first. Vaccination remains the only surefire defense.
