This is the best summary I could come up with:
The number of measles cases around the world nearly doubled from 2022 to 2023, researchers say, presenting a challenge to efforts to achieve and maintain elimination status in many countries.
However, the rapid rise in cases this year poses a threat to that disease elimination status, the agency says.
General symptoms may include fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes and a rash of red spots.
In the US, the CDC that children get the first dose of the vaccine that protects against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) between 12 and 15 months of age.
Measles is “a crisis among many crises,” O’Connor said in his presentation Saturday, with about 45% of outbreaks in conflict-affected and fragile countries.
“In order to solidify and maintain those gains, we need to ensure high, uniform and equitable routine immunization coverage; and robust outreach and rapid outbreak response.”
