Show Notes
Utahs measles outbreak surges to 559 cases, second highest in the nation, with 318 infections this year alone. Sparked by falling vaccination rates, the outbreak has led to a significant increase in hospitalizations and has spread to busy spots like the University of Utah campus. While vaccination rates have increased by 31% statewide, kindergarten vaccination sits at 88.6%, below the 95% needed for herd immunity. Experts urge checking vaccine status and staying protected to prevent further spread.
