Original: Vaccine change may bring largest measles outbreak ever
Health officials are warning that a proposed or recently announced change to vaccination policy could lead to the largest measles outbreak on record. The warning, reported by US public media outlet WGCU, has raised concern among public health experts who fear reduced vaccine coverage could allow the highly contagious virus to spread rapidly. Measles cases have already been rising in parts of the United States and elsewhere amid declining immunisation rates.
Why now: Concerns over recent shifts in US vaccine policy and their potential impact on measles control are drawing widespread public health debate.
