Delaware reports first measles cases in more than a decade
Original: Delaware measles outbreak: First positive measles cases in more than a decade
Delaware has confirmed its first positive measles cases in more than a decade, marking the state's first outbreak since the disease was largely kept at bay through vaccination. Health officials are expected to trace contacts and urge residents to check their immunisation status as the highly contagious virus reappears amid ongoing measles concerns in other US states.
Why now: A vaccine-preventable disease has returned to a US state that had been measles-free for over ten years, raising public health concern.
