28 February 2024

The increase in measles cases is mainly due to missed vaccinations during COVID-19.
USA: US total rises to 35 cases in 14 states and NYC. Indiana has had its first case in five years. Ohio and Washington report cases.
UK: 60 additional measles cases in England confirmed. UK total cases is 581 since October 2023.
