## Resource

Ohio’s measles cases are exploding—up 327% in just one week—with Wayne County hit hardest. This is the state’s third outbreak this year, occurring as nationwide cases hit a 35-year high. Most infected are unvaccinated, underscoring how critical vaccines are to stopping this highly contagious disease. Measles, once declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, is making a dangerous comeback, especially threatening kids and immunocompromised individuals. While some debate vaccine scheduling, experts insist the combined MMR shot remains safe and effective—splitting doses could leave people vulnerable longer. Health officials are clear: staying current on vaccinations is the best defense against further spread and protecting those who can’t be vaccinated.
