## Resource

Measles is surging in Arizona, with Maricopa County reporting seven new cases linked to a business in Aguila—pushing the annual total to 21, far above the usual one case per year. Statewide, 117 cases have been confirmed this year, driven by declining vaccination rates. The virus can cause pneumonia or brain inflammation, underscoring the urgency of staying up to date on vaccines. Two public exposure sites in Phoenix—Tempe Marketplace on July 6 and a Walmart in Surprise on July 12—are under investigation. Symptoms, which appear 7–21 days after exposure, include rash, fever, red eyes, cough, and runny nose. If you were there or suspect exposure, contact your doctor immediately.
