What sad is that there is a safe, efficacious vaccine which is administered in drop form and which prevents measles. Two doses of a combined vaccine called Measles, Mump and Rubella (MMR) provides the best protection against measles..
The United States has recorded its highest annual measles cases in 33 years. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength.
U.S. measles cases reach 33-year record high as outbreaks spread
Johns Hopkins University data reflects the public health reversal in defeating the vaccine-preventable disease since measles was officially eliminated from the U.S. in 2000.
