A warning from Pennsylvania health officials: two people have died from measles, the first deaths associated with the disease in the state in 35 years. Health officials say both victims were unvaccinated Lancaster County residents. And this comes as measles cases continue to climb — with 393 cases reported across 29 Pennsylvania counties this year. The Health Department says measles is highly contagious and can cause serious complications, including pneumonia and brain swelling. Officials say two doses of the M-M-R vaccine provide 97 percent protection.
