TL;DR Summary

An investigation is underway at a Florida elementary school with a low vaccination rate after four confirmed cases of measles were reported, potentially putting over 100 students at risk. Health officials fear that slipping vaccination rates nationwide could lead to more common outbreaks. Measles is highly contagious and can lead to severe complications, but those who are fully vaccinated are generally not considered at risk. The US has seen a slip in vaccination rates, with at least 10 states having exemption rates above 5 percent, making it difficult to reach the 95 percent target for protection.
