Original: Pa.'s measles outbreak is the largest in decades. Here's what to know
Pennsylvania is dealing with its largest measles outbreak in decades, according to multiple Pennsylvania news outlets. State health authorities are working to contain the spread of the highly contagious virus, and local papers across the state are publishing explainers on symptoms, exposure risks and vaccination. The outbreak has drawn attention amid broader concerns about declining vaccination rates and the resurgence of preventable diseases in the United States.
Why now: Measles, once considered eliminated in the US, is resurging, and a decades-large outbreak in a populous state is a significant public health development.
