"Measles is common in many parts of the world, and the United States has not had a major outbreak in years—that is, until last December in California when at least 40 people in an amusement park contracted measles, which spiked the numbers for measles cases in the year 2014. The outbreak would then go on to affect 173 people and spread to 21 states, with Illinois, Arizona, Nevada, and Washington having the highest numbers. Fortunately, there have only been a handful of cases in other states, but the Department of Health is urging people, especially parents to have their children vaccinated at urgent care clinics or healthcare centers. Measles is a highly contagious disease that could lead to life-threatening complications if not treated early. It usually starts with simple symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, cough, and red eyes, which can be mistaken for other minor illnesses.
