Measles Outbreak
While measles is highly preventable through vaccination, falling immunization rates in the U.S. and other countries have led to outbreaks.
Experts predict what dropping vaccination rates may do and why these cases aren't something to dismiss.
At least six cases of the highly contagious virus have been confirmed at the school outside of Fort Lauderdale since last week.
Several children became infected with the virus after a sick child was taken to a day care despite orders to quarantine.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
More than 90% of kids infected with measles in the Columbus area were unvaccinated, raising alarm as vaccination rates slip around the country.
Contradictory advice from the Union Health Ministry has undone years of work on Indias national immunisation programme, say experts and healthcare activists.
FROM HUFFPOST INDIA
Measles has killed nearly three times as many people in Congo than an Ebola outbreak in the country that has garnered far more international attention.
Passengers infected with the highly contagious virus passed through both airports last week.
Health official says, travelers through the airport may have been exposed to the viral infection.
The World Health Organization says the rise of the vaccine-preventable disease is "an outrage."
