Summary:
- Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that can cause serious complications, including pneumonia and brain inflammation.
- Vaccines have been very effective in preventing measles outbreaks, but some people choose not to vaccinate their children, leading to a resurgence of the disease in recent years.
- Outbreaks of measles can be prevented by maintaining high vaccination rates in the population, which helps protect those who cannot be vaccinated, such as infants and people with weakened immune systems.
