The World Health Organization
and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention say cases of measles are on the rise, with much of our attention being spent on COVID-19.
Routine vaccinations were
down last year, including
for infants. Around 22.3 million infants
did not receive the initial measles vaccine last year, an increase of three
million from the previous year.
At least 24 vaccine
campaigns in 23 countries were postponed, potentially affecting at least 93
million people.
