Measles Fatality Reported in the United States after a Decade
ai generated text
A child in Texas has died from measles, marking the first US fatality from the disease in nearly a decade. This death is part of a growing outbreak.
The school-aged child who was not vaccinated was hospitalised in Lubbock last week and tested positive for measles.
It's not unusual. You have measles outbreaks every year.
Measles still kills over 100,000 individuals every year worldwide. The death should serve as a reminder that there was a reason that the vaccine was developed and that the vaccine is a value to individuals.
While multiple measles outbreaks in the United States have not resulted in a death, it was only a matter of time that one would occur.
