measles outbreaks

What Causes Measles Outbreaks?

Measles outbreaks can occur due to several factors, including:
- Low Vaccination Coverage: When vaccination rates drop below the critical threshold needed for herd immunity, outbreaks can occur.
- Importation of Cases: Travelers from regions where measles is still endemic can introduce the virus to areas with low vaccination coverage.
- Vaccine Hesitancy: Misinformation and fear about vaccine safety can lead to reduced vaccination rates.
