CATCH ME UP
A child died from measles in Lewis County, New York, marking the state’s first measles death in thirty years.
State health officials confirmed the fatality and said New York has recorded 178 measles cases this year.
Governor Kathy Hochul said vaccination remains the best protection and declared the outbreak an emergency in early October.
Hochul also blamed Washington for eroding vaccination progress, while another report said federal immunisation policies were being criticized.
More context
State officials and the CDC said U.S. measles cases have surged as vaccination rates have fallen below the 95 percent threshold needed to prevent outbreaks.
One report said the CDC counted 2,318 confirmed cases nationally, and another said two doses of the MMR vaccine provide 97 percent protection.
