The CDC says 78 new cases of measles were reported in the US last week. That's at least 465 this year for a disease that the US considered eliminated in 2000.
At least 465 cases of measles have been reported in the United States since January 1, according to the latest numbers shared by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday.
That's 78 more cases than the number reported last week and includes cases reported to the CDC by state health departments as of April 4.Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts and Nevada reported their first cases of measles this year, bringing the total number of states reporting cases to 19.
Measles is endemic in many countries other than the United States. It is brought in when people who are unvaccinated or undervaccinated visit from a place where the virus is circulating or when people living in the United States visit such a place and return with an infection.Health officials have said that the proliferation of anti-vaccine rhetoric has, in part, fueled an increase in the number of measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases in the United States.
