Measles Surges in Ohio and Nation | Cincinnati News

Ohio’s third measles outbreak this year is spreading fast, with 45 confirmed cases across 10 counties — including Wayne, Trumbull, Holmes, Knox, and Tuscarawas (now at 8 cases). Nationwide, measles infections have hit a 35-year high, reversing decades of progress. Health officials warn that falling vaccination rates are making communities vulnerable again — the MMR vaccine remains the most effective defense. The virus is moving through places like horse sales and retail stores, infecting kids as young as 15 months and teens up to 20. This resurgence is a chilling reminder: when immunization drops, preventable diseases come roaring back — and only widespread vaccination can keep them at bay.
