What professionals think (Measles Outbreak)

From the health journals I have reviewed, all agree that in order to be immune to the measles virus they must recieve the MMR vaccine. Countries are now being encouraged to collect specimens for viral identification of the virus. Documentation is also in demand for people who have recently traveled to other countries and for people who have not been vaccinated. In order to eliminate the virus, the United States is trying to determine where the virus is being transferred from in other countries to prevent the spread in the US. Furthermore, to encourage people to recieve the vaccine.

    Hi Jessika--It's interesting that the professional sources seem to be in such clear agreement, whereas the public sees this as an "issue." Be sure in your writing about your public sources that you're clear about which information came from which sources.
