Many Forget the Damage Done by Diseases Like Whooping Cough, Measles and Rubella. Not These Families
- Last week, Kentucky reported four new measles cases—three in Woodford County and one in Todd County linked to international travel.
- The outbreak stems from vaccination gaps, with all four infected individuals unvaccinated, waning immunity, and only 86.9% of Kentucky kindergartners fully vaccinated.
- The cabinet confirms measles spreads through the air and can linger for two hours, part of the largest U.S. outbreak since 2000 with over 1,200 cases reported this year.
- Health officials are working to identify exposure sites and contacts through contact tracing efforts, as a Friday release announced public advisories.
- The CDC recommends two doses of MMR vaccine, which is 97% effective against measles, to prevent future outbreaks amid declining immunization rates.
