Measles Cases in US Surpass 1,100 for First Time This Year

The US has surpassed 1,100 measles cases in two months, according to data published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, marking a troubling milestone that could lead to more deaths. The number of cases has been steadily rising since the start of the year. This surge is attributed to a combination of factors including low vaccination rates and the continued spread of measles globally. The CDC warns that with the number of cases on the rise, more deaths are expected in the coming months.
