Quick Glance: Alzheimer's Drug Uptake Hindered by Doctors' Skepticism in US
- The first drug to slow the progression of Alzheimer's, Leqembi by Eisai and Biogen, is facing resistance in the US from doctors who believe the treatment is futile.

Measles cases are up sharply in 2024. Here’s what’s driving the increase — and why it’s such a big deal
richmond.com/news/nation-world/science/measles-cdc-outbreak-chicago-mmr-vaccine/article_6089a65b-de31-5b0a-bd52-6f1cb787f957.html
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.
