Measles Outbreak in the US Despite Disease Being Eradicated in 2000 | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Centers for Disease Control says that as of late last month there were nearly 100 recorded cases of measles in the United States. That's compared to last year when there were 58 reported cases in all of 2023. Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, small grayish-white spots in the mouth and loss of appetite. Medical Director for Communicable Disease and Immunizations at the Public Health Division of the Oregon Health Authority, Dr. Paul Cieslak, joins to share more about this recent measles outbreak. He tells us where we are seeing the most cases and how concerned we should be. Measles were eradicated in the United States back in 2000. With that being the case, he discusses why we are seeing outbreaks now. Dr. Cieslak explains who is most at risk for the disease and what parents should know. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
