More than 100 cases of measles have been diagnosed this year in 21 states and the District of Columbia, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday.
Most of the people who got measles had not been vaccinated
Unvaccinated infants are especially vulnerable to complications of measles, so they are best protected by herd immunity, the CDC advises. Herd immunity is achieved when at least 95% of the total population of a country gets the recommended two doses of vaccine.
Measles is one of the leading causes of death for children, according to the World Health Organization, which estimates that 450 die each day worldwide due to the illness.
CDC believes that measles comes in from countries where Americans frequently travel, such as England, France, Germany...
