According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US public health
agency, there is now a serious risk of measles spreading to other parts of
the world due to COVID-19’s impact on vaccination rates and the disease’s
oversight.
One of the most contagious human viruses is measles, which can almost
entirely be avoided by immunization. However, there must be a 95%
vaccination rate to stop outbreaks among populations.
According to a joint report from the WHO and the US Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), the COVID pandemic caused a record high of
roughly 40 million children to skip a dose of the measles vaccine in 2021.
