Indiana reports five new measles cases, raising the state's total to six. Three children and two adults in Allen County are affected; four unvaccinated minors are among those infected. While all six individuals are recovering, health officials are investigating potential further exposure. Measles, a highly contagious airborne virus, necessitates vaccination with two MMR doses for full protection. The federal government encourages vaccination but opposes mandates. Nationwide, measles cases have reached 600 across 23 states.
