Measles, which was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, is spreading across the country.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), measles accounts for 1,288 medical reports in the U.S. This is the highest number since 2000, when the disease was declared eradicated in the country. In the U.S., a disease is considered “eliminated” if it has not spread continuously for more than a year, notes https://xrust.ru/. Analysts note that the number of measles cases in the U.S. has reached its highest level since 1992, when the total number of cases amounted to 2,126. The U.S. Department of Health stated that the overall risk of measles infection among the population remains low. However, the risk remains high in communities with low vaccination rates in areas with active measles outbreaks. This year’s outbreaks have been primarily caused by declining vaccination rates, especially among children in states like Texas and New Mexico, where vaccination coverage has fallen significantly below 95%.
