After a year marked by measles outbreaks across the U.S., is the virus now endemic?

Measles has been spreading across the U.S. for a year, raising concerns that the virus may no longer be considered eliminated. This prolonged outbreak marks a significant milestone in public health, indicating a potential shift in the status of measles in the country.

The implications of this development are profound, as it suggests that measles could now be classified as endemic in the U.S., which may lead to increased public health measures and renewed efforts to promote vaccination to prevent further outbreaks.
