- A study from Stanford indicates that measles could become endemic in the U.S. within the next two decades due to declining vaccination rates.
- Currently, the MMR vaccination rate is around 93%; a 10% decrease could lead to over 11 million cases of measles.
- Increasing vaccination rates by even a small margin could significantly reduce the likelihood of disease resurgence.
- Understanding vaccination status is crucial for protecting individual and public health.
It's empowering that a small segment of the population can make a difference here.— Nathan Lo, MD, PhD, an assistant professor of infectious diseases at Stanford University, said in a news release.
