π€Why the hell are people still getting measles? Just asking, I know. π‘π§
Measles is back in 2 states β what to know before the next outbreak
NOT from people crossing the boarder (IL and WI, really)π€ it's from people NOT getting the vaccine. The IL case was someone who traveled abroad (unvaccinated) and I'm still waiting for vaccination status of the other.
Measles deaths jumped over 40% from 2021 to 2022, CDC reports

@nursefrombirth yep. You know, Doc. I do, too. Thank you for your advocacy and educational posts! π€
@LadyZurk My pleasure.π₯°
@nursefrombirth the scary part is the vax came out when i was in my 30s and never had measles. π· if i have to go out.
My husband and I redid the MMR series as adults before he had to go on immune suppressing drugs. If that's an option for you, no need to do without.
Antivaxxers must be thrilled.
@nursefrombirth I don't get why more vaxes aren't mandatory before travel...
@nursefrombirth this reminds how little protection 'wishful thinking' affords.
@nursefrombirth Ah, the glory of antivaxers.
