Reacción a "Measles and other preventable infections could return to the US"

The conclusion is clear: if vaccination rates fall, measles will become endemic (not only in the US, but in other countries as well). It does not appear that the same could happen with other pathogens included in the study.

There are currently outbreaks of measles, but vaccination coverage of over 95% is needed to prevent it from becoming a problem, as it is an extremely contagious virus. Vaccination is the best weapon for preventing serious diseases. It should not be forgotten that measles can cause encephalitis and death; it is not a trivial infection as many people believe.
