The challenge of a measles resurgence In @gavi @alxsrobert.bsky.social & Ben Kasstan-Dabush explain how #measles outbreaks in lower vaccine coverage groups & the restructuring of vaccination services have made access to vaccines harder💉 #PublicHealth www.gavi.org/vaccineswork...

How the West lost its grip on measles (and what we can do about it)

Falling vaccination coverage is promoting a resurgence of measles in countries that had previously eliminated it.
