Kentucky Measles Surge Sparks Alarm | Louisville News

from Louisville News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Kentucky’s facing its worst measles outbreak in 35 years, fueled by vaccination rates slipping below the critical 95% threshold needed to stop spread—only 91% of kindergarteners are fully vaccinated. With 15 confirmed cases in just four days and all patients unvaccinated (two hospitalized), health officials warn this is part of a nationwide resurgence—the largest measles outbreak since 2000. Measles isn’t just deadly; it can cripple your immune system for months after recovery. Experts are urging families, especially with young kids, to get the safe, proven MMR vaccine before it’s too late.
