Kentucky Measles Outbreak Rises | Louisville News

Kentucky’s facing its biggest measles outbreak since 1991, with 11 confirmed cases so far this year—mostly in Christian, Trigg, Todd, Washington, and Owen counties. Health officials are urging near-universal MMR vaccination to stop the spread, noting that while exemptions exist, schools decide final approval. Around 90% of kids still get their shots before kindergarten. Rather than shaming, authorities are focusing on education and empathy, helping families make informed choices to protect their health—and each other. This is a wake-up call: staying up-to-date on vaccines isn’t just personal—it’s community-wide responsibility. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
