#Measles cases are rising globally as #MMR coverage falls below #herdimmunity thresholds. With up to a 90% attack rate among susceptible contacts, even small immunity gaps in a population can enable #outbreaks.

Point about mathematics broken down so you don't need to know math to understand it: a tiny percentage of a very large number is another large number. #covid19 #outbreaks #mathemathics

This new paper by Sandeep Tegar, @drstevenmwhite.bsky.social et al. from @ukceh.bsky.social & @glasgow.ac.uk shows that chikungunya has lower thermal threshold for transmission than previously thought, carrying a higher risk of #outbreaks across Europe.
Measles outbreaks are rising in 2026 as vaccination rates drop, putting unvaccinated children and infants at higher risk. Parents are urged to follow the MMR schedule to protect their little ones. #Measles #Vaccines #MMR #InfantHealth #PublicHealth #Outbreaks
Just 6 weeks into 2026, more than 700 #measles cases have been confirmed across 20 states, according to the latest @CDCgov data.
The largest #outbreaks are in Arizona, Utah and South Carolina.

The funds are administered through the #CDC. They include grants given to #states for a variety of purposes, including hiring staffs, modernizing data systems & managing #disease #outbreaks. Some programs are aimed at the needs of specific communities.
