Measles cases in the US are declining after a recent surge. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports an average of 22 weekly cases over the past two weeks, down from over 100 a month ago. Experts attribute the decrease to increased vaccination rates, the development of natural immunity within affected communities, and a change in behavior with infected individuals staying home. While the situation is improving, isolated cases and small outbreaks continue in other states.
