Regional health organization issues alert as measles cases surge across the Americas

MEXICO CITY: The Pan American Health Organization, PAHO, on Wednesday issued a new epidemiological alert following a surge of measles cases across the Americas, with Mexico reporting the highest numbers. It also called for urgent vaccination campaigns, highlighting that 78 percent of recent cases involved unvaccinated people. The alert follows Canada’s loss of measles-free status in November — a setback the United States and Mexico could soon mirror.
