Measles

Measles

                There were 222 reported cases of Measles in the United States last year, the article states; the highest reported in 15 years. The increase seems to be due to a spike in the number of unvaccinated children and adults traveling abroad and contracting it there. While over 30,000 cases have been reported in Europe, due to the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, United States doctors had considered the disease eliminated within our borders.
