Measles Surge in Michigan | Detroit News

Measles is roaring back across the U.S., with Michigan already reporting 14 cases this year — up from 30 last year — as health officials scramble to remind parents to verify their kids’ vaccination records before school starts. With over 2,300 cases nationwide and outbreaks popping up in Washtenaw and Ottawa counties, experts warn this is the worst measles surge in 35 years. Vaccination isn’t just about protecting your child — it’s a shield for classmates, younger siblings, and vulnerable peers who can’t be vaccinated. Thanks to swift action, Michigan kept outbreaks contained last spring, but with whooping cough also making a comeback, health officials are urging everyone to stay up-to-date on all recommended shots to keep communities safe.
