We are already up to 97 measles cases this year. That's already nearly twice of all of last year's cases. Outbreaks have occurred in 17 states.

Only 5% of cases have occurred among children that have received two doses of the MMR vaccine.

Nationally only 93% of kindergartners are vaccinated against measles. Only 13 states have vaccination rates above 95%, the threshold for measles herd immunity.
