Original: Sixth person who had measles has died in Pennsylvania, local coroner says
A local coroner in Pennsylvania has confirmed the death of a sixth person who had measles, according to The Washington Post. The report gives few further details, but a sixth fatality linked to a typically preventable disease would be a striking figure for a single US state, and the announcement is drawing attention to vaccination and outbreak concerns.
Why now: A sixth death connected to measles in one US state is an unusually severe toll for a preventable disease, raising concern about an outbreak or low vaccination coverage.
