U.S. Measles Outbreak Exceeds 2,500 Cases, CDC Reports 38 New Infections

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported 38 new measles cases this week, bringing the total confirmed cases in the U.S. to 2,566. This ongoing outbreak marks a significant rise and has hit a 35-year high, with 38 outbreaks reported this year. The surge is likely linked to a notable decrease in the immunization rate of the MMR vaccine among children.
