More Than 100 Cases of Measles Reported in Utah and Arizona

NYT In the hardest-hit counties, childhood vaccination rates steeply declined during the pandemic. Just as one large measles outbreak peters out in the United States, another outbreak of the virus has taken off along the border of Utah and Arizona.
