Pennsylvania Reports 74 New Measles Cases
Original: Health officials report 74 new measles cases in Pennsylvania
Health officials in Pennsylvania have confirmed 74 new measles cases, according to ABC News. The outbreak makes the state one of the current hotspots for the virus, which health authorities had previously declared eliminated in the United States. Officials are expected to urge vaccination and alert residents to possible exposure sites as they work to contain the spread.
Why now: Measles outbreaks are rare in the US, so a large single-state jump in cases raises public health concerns about vaccination coverage.
