Measles Vaccine Recommended For Children

We’re just over half way through the year, but the US has recorded over 2300 cases of measles in 2026.  That’s a level that hasn’t been seen in the US since 1991.  And that’s why doctors are encouraging children to get a measles vaccine before they go back to school.  Dr. Giridhar Mallya is the senior policy officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

One measles case has been reported in Traill County, North Dakota, this year with 23 reported in Pembina County.  Contact your doctor or local clinic about getting a measles vaccine vaccine for your children.
