The CDC warns that travelers are at risk of catching measles at airports and other crowded places due to the resurgence of the disease in the U.S., driven by vaccine hesitancy. Despite being eliminated in 2000, measles has reemerged with over 1,100 cases this year, emphasizing the importance of vaccination, especially the MMR vaccine, to prevent severe illness and outbreaks. Vulnerable groups like infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals should be particularly cautious.
