A potentially deadly virus that was once eradicated, appears to be making somewhat of a comeback and we've already seen at least one case in San Diego.They're urging public health officials to make sure kids get their measles vaccines.
San Diego County health officials confirmed the first measles case of the year in the county, last month.According to the CDC, 93% of this year's measles cases have been linked to children 1 year or older who've not yet gotten their measles-mumps-rubella vaccination or MMR. Data from the CDC shows vaccination rates among kindergartners have decreased from 95% percent in 2019 to 93% at the start of 2022, leaving about 250,000 kindergartners susceptible to measles each year.“It means for families that do vaccinate, it still increases the risk a bit and also for the whole community it’s a bigger burden. People are going to get sick. Parents will get sick or other relatives,” said Rosemary Morrison who’s the mother of a 2-year-old.
Parents like Potter are hoping people will heed the CDC warning and remember what happened during the pandemic.
