Measles and Whooping Cough Outbreaks Raise Health Concerns in U.S.

Measles outbreaks are becoming increasingly concerning in the United States, with a significant rise in cases reported in states like South Carolina, where 138 non-travel-related cases have been documented.

This resurgence has prompted health experts to warn that measles is becoming 'entrenched' in the country again, as stated by Dr. Celine Gounder in a CBS News report. Meanwhile, whooping cough cases are also surging nationwide, with Texas reporting levels not seen in over a decade due to declining vaccination rates, as highlighted by NBC News.

These outbreaks underscore the urgent need for renewed health initiatives and increased community awareness to combat vaccine hesitancy and protect public health.
