Reading
Measles vaccines for kids went down after COVID-19. This happened in many U.S. places with available information. This includes states that are fighting measles problems this year too.
A study shows where weak areas are. It also shows vaccines are going down. This is at the state and country levels too.
Lauren Gardner said the drops are a problem. She is an expert at Johns Hopkins University. She also helped make the COVID-19 database there.
Most people with measles this year were not vaccinated. It has spread through travel. Measles may be the worst in many years, with more cases nationally.
Measles was gone in the U.S. since 2000, and the vaccine works well. Schools need kids to get the vaccine. But more kids do not have to get it now, and vaccination should be high to stop sickness.
