Measles cases climb as some schools see vaccination declines — the reason why is surprising.
The United States is seeing a rise in measles cases. Outbreaks are happening in several states across the country. Health officials are concerned about the growing numbers.
It's alarming how easily this sickness can spread. Many areas report children getting sick. This is linked to lower vaccination rates in some schools. Religious exemptions are allowing this decline.
For example, South Carolina now has 15 measles cases. Frustration grows as quarantines affect multiple states. Health experts warn that this trend could continue.
The situation highlights the importance of public health measures. Future outbreaks may depend on increasing vaccination coverage.
