""Honestly, at first, it ... kind of felt like a head cold," the student said."I started to get a little rash and then like I started to get a sore throat, a cough.""
""The professor, she was in contact with a student who had a severe illness, severe manifestation," Enad said. "She would have been more sick if she had not been vaccinated.""
""It's just the cost of doing business with our borders being somewhat porous for global and international travel," principal deputy director at the CDC, Ralph Abraham, said last month. "We have these communities that choose to be unvaccinated. That's their personal freedom.""
At least 21 U.S. states have confirmed measles cases as outbreaks spread nationwide. Ave Maria University near Naples, Florida reported nearly 60 cases, including an unvaccinated sophomore who developed a rash, sore throat and cough. A local clinic treated two vaccinated patients and noted vaccination reduced illness severity. The U.S. faces possible loss of measles-elimination status due to porous international travel and pockets of unvaccinated communities. CBS tracked more than 1,000 confirmed cases in 2026, about half of 2025 totals. South Carolina recorded over 900 cases since September. The CDC recommends the first MMR dose at 12–15 months.
