New York Declares 'Measles Disaster' Amid Resurgence

New York has declared a 'measles disaster' as infections rise, prompting health officials to prepare for a significant public health setback. This resurgence is attributed to groups of unvaccinated people, as measles is highly contagious and can spread rapidly in crowded settings. The disease was previously eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, but declining vaccination coverage globally and in unvaccinated pockets threatens this progress.
