## Resource

Pennsylvania reports its fourth measles death this year — an 18-year-old from Mifflin County who died from a severe neurological complication. This follows the recent loss of a 40-year-old woman and two infants in Lancaster County, all unvaccinated or too young to be vaccinated. The U.S. is now facing its worst measles outbreak since 1991, with seven deaths in just two years — more than the previous three decades combined. Declining vaccination rates, now below the critical 95% threshold, have reignited domestic transmission. International health officials will soon decide if the U.S. and Mexico can retain their measles-free status amid this alarming surge.
