OT: CDC Spots Large Measles Outbreak
|
A series of outbreaks in nine states between January and April 25 has resulted in 64 measles cases -- the highest number reported over the same time period since 2001. Since last Friday, eight more cases have also been reported. Of the 64 people who got measles, just one had received the full two doses of vaccine. The last major measles outbreak happened in the early 1990s. That resulted in 50,000 cases of measles, more than 11,000 hospitalizations and more than 120 deaths.
