Measles resurgence forces US hospitals to adopt new protocols
Original: The US resurgence of measles is forcing hospitals and health systems to adopt new protocols and procedures to deal with
Hospitals and health systems across the United States are introducing new protocols and procedures to handle measles, a disease many had considered eliminated decades ago. Health workers are retraining staff and updating screening practices as outbreaks return. Public health officials warn that declining vaccination rates have allowed measles to re-emerge, catching medical institutions unprepared for cases they rarely see.
Why now: Recent measles outbreaks in the US are renewing public concern about declining vaccination rates and hospital readiness.
