Um estudo liderado pela UC Riverside com 2.459 pacientes em 10 departamentos de emergência dos EUA encontrou ampla incerteza sobre o status de vacinação MMR, desinformação persistente e disparidades marcantes ligadas ao acesso e à demografia.

Newly cited data suggest herd immunity for measles is already absent in roughly one-third of kindergarten classrooms in Allegheny County, underscoring how local declines in vaccination can narrow the margin of safety.

Bangladesh is carrying out emergency measles-rubella vaccinations as authorities try to contain an outbreak that has killed more than 100 children in less than a month.

A new report warns that even a 1% annual decline in MMR vaccination rates could trigger 17,000 measles cases, 4,000 hospitalizations, and 36 preventable deaths each year in the U.S.

With nearly 1,000 confirmed measles cases in 2026 spread across close to half of U.S. states, public health officials are sounding the alarm about a broader crisis. Declining vaccination rates could open the door to resurgences of mumps, hepatitis B, and other diseases once thought conquered.
