Health officials and commentators in Pennsylvania are asking what lessons their state should draw from the measles outbreak in Texas, which has become one of the largest in the United States in recent years. The discussion, highlighted by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, centers on vaccination rates, public health preparedness and how to prevent a similar spread in Pennsylvania communities.

The coordinated campaign represents an unusual collective effort by cultural institutions across the city to secure major financial support rather than pursuing individual fundraising drives.
