Urgent Action Needed: Stop Deadly Measles Outbreaks | JQJO

Measles outbreaks across the US, particularly in Texas, are causing concern, with one child death reported. Low vaccination rates, fueled by misinformation, are to blame. Governor Josh Green, highlighting his experience combating measles in Samoa and COVID-19 in Hawaii, urges a national vaccination campaign. This campaign should focus on education, community engagement, accessibility, and responsible public policy to increase vaccination rates and achieve herd immunity. The urgency stems from the preventable nature of the outbreaks and the risk to vulnerable children.
