Measles Resurgence Demands Vaccination | Philadelphia News

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

Measles is roaring back in Pennsylvania, claiming two lives in Lancaster County — both unvaccinated — as cases surge to a 35-year high. Officials warn that with measles rare for decades, many underestimate its deadly potential, and the safe, effective MMR vaccine remains our best defense. With herd immunity requiring 95% vaccination, falling rates — down from 95% to just over 92% among kindergarteners — are fueling this outbreak. This isn’t isolated: cases popped up in Lehigh County too. Now’s the time to get vaccinated — for you, your kids, and your community.
