Quick Glance: CDC warns of looming measles outbreak in the US
- A report from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates a significant decline in measles immunization since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in a record high of almost 40 million children missing a vaccine dose last year.
- With the increase in cases that could jeopardize the virus's eliminated status in the U.S., the CDC is calling for measures to boost measles immunization.
- So far, 113 measles cases have been confirmed since 2020, compared to 58 cases detected last year. The majority of measles patients since 2020 have not been vaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status.
- Experts express concerns that the rise in measles cases in the U.S. may signal a troubling trend. The CDC emphasizes the need to increase routine MMR vaccination coverage to maintain elimination.

Number of whooping cough cases soar in UK - raising concerns about vaccine uptake
news.sky.com/story/number-of-whooping-cough-cases-soar-in-uk-raising-concerns-about-vaccine-uptake-13089524
Quick Glance: Tips for Preventing Whooping Cough Amid Increasing Incidence
- With a significant rise in cases in England in January, whooping cough is being more frequently diagnosed.
- A key disparity between a regular cough and whooping cough lies in the intensity of symptoms, such as strong coughing fits, especially at night, accompanied by a high-pitched 'whoop,' vomiting, red face, and breathing difficulties.
- Whooping cough is highly contagious and can have serious consequences, particularly for unvaccinated babies and children.
- The most effective prevention against whooping cough remains vaccination, included in the NHS routine immunization schedule and administered to infants.
