## Resource

Utah’s measles outbreak, now in its first full year, has hit over 680 cases across nearly every county — from grocery stores to wrestling matches — exposing how easily the virus spreads. Despite a 97% effective vaccine, vaccination rates have dropped, with 16% of kindergarteners and 12% statewide missing shots — far below the 95% needed to prevent outbreaks. The U.S. risks losing its measles-free status as international experts prepare to decide its eligibility, while Canada has already lost its status. Though cases have slowed, experts fear a winter surge as schools reopen. The outbreak underscores a national crisis in vaccine hesitancy, with health officials working to contain spread and rebuild trust — but some fear measles may be hard to fully reverse.
