Description

Iman Tahir and co-authors trace the measles comeback in the United States. Their twenty twenty-four paper reviews a disease declared eliminated there in the year two thousand. Cases have climbed again since twenty twenty, clustered where vaccine uptake lags.

Hesitancy, pandemic-era missed shots, and imported cases from travel seed the outbreaks. The review covers how the virus spreads, how illness unfolds, and how outbreaks strain local health teams. Measles harms the unprotected worst, often young children. Holding coverage high in every community, not just on average, is the authors central plea; pockets of low cover are where the virus finds its way back.
