Bangladesh measles surge alarms global health officials amid US vaccination worries

Bangladesh is confronting a deadly measles outbreak with tens of thousands of suspected cases and hundreds of deaths, driven by vaccine supply delays and gaps in two-dose coverage. UNICEF, WHO, and local authorities have launched rapid vaccination campaigns, but the disease is spreading across most districts, raising concerns about regional transmission and potential risks to the United States as measles cases rise and vaccination rates dip below the 95% threshold, threatening elimination status.
