From outside the USA comes a measles threat inside the USA
A flurry of imported measles cases has kindled outbreaks in 15 states and two cities that together have given the USA its largest case toll in a decade, health officials said Monday. Since January, doctors have reported 132 measles cases, just shy of the 138 reached in 1997, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. So far, no child has died. Most cases have occurred in children whose parents decided against having them vaccinated. Twenty children less than a year old were too young to be vaccinated.
