As of April 10, 2025, the United States has reported 693 confirmed cases of measles. This statistic underscores the severity of the situation. Measles poses a significant risk to unvaccinated children, who are more likely to contract the disease upon exposure. The infection can lead to serious health issues, including lung infection and brain inflammation. Symptoms can escalate quickly, with fevers reaching up to 104 or 105 degrees lasting two to four days. Additional complications include poor fluid intake, sore throat, and diarrhea, which can cause dehydration and potentially threaten kidney function. These statistics highlight the urgent need for vaccination to protect vulnerable populations from the severe impacts of measles.
