New York declares state of emergency over measles spike

New York's governor has declared a state of emergency following a sharp rise in measles cases. The move gives health authorities expanded powers to respond to the outbreak, and discussion is focusing on vaccination rates and the possible spread of cases to neighbouring states including Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Why now: A state-of-emergency declaration over a vaccine-preventable disease is a significant public health development
