  5. Scary: "The types of people who contract #measles has also changed. In 1963, when the #vaccine was first licensed, measles was considered a childhood disease. Most children contracted the disease by the age of five.

    “'Now you’re seeing the epidemiology shift,' said Offit. Two-thirds of people infected with measles in Pennsylvania are adults, a group on which researchers have little information. Mothers have even given birth to babies with measles. 'Now, you’re seeing something we just didn’t see at all – congenital measles.'”

    "Other countries often look to the United States for technical assistance and guidance on vaccines and vaccination strategies, said William Moss, MD, MPH, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University."

    📌In normal times, babies in the 🇺🇸 (in 🇮🇹 too: NDR) don’t receive their first MMR shots until they turn one.

    📌 But during outbreaks, babies at risk of infection can get the shot as early as six months of age – one of a handful of recommendations from the CDC that is receiving less attention than it normally would, experts say.
