ATLANTA, Ga. — Health officials are warning that the risk of a measles outbreak is mounting after more than 22 million infants missed their first vaccine dose in 2020. That’s 3 million more babies than in 2019, marking the largest increase in two decades and creating dangerous conditions for outbreaks to occur, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). |

Good of you to spot that news item. I guess this will be one of many illnesses that we see a rise in numbers because the health workers were focusing on the covid emergency and couldn't manage routine prevention measures. |
