Overview: Measles incidence in the US was low, with the CDC issuing it “elimination status.” In 2024, a cluster of measles cases threatened this status. Join us while we discuss this phenomenon and its impact on public health and practice, including who is at risk, how to recognize measles, and ways to manage this contagious and vaccine-preventable illness.
