Ask the Experts: Why Measles Rates are on the Rise

Measles is a highly contagious and vaccine-preventable disease that has been on the rise, both in the United States and globally. Missed routine immunizations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and growing mistrust in vaccines have contributed to a dangerous rise in cases. IVAC is hosting a webinar to provide an overview of the current state of measles in the U.S. and around the world. A panel of distinguished experts will discuss the ongoing threat of measles, why vaccination is critical to prevent this extremely contagious disease, and the impact of vaccine hesitancy on declining immunization rates.

A panel discussion by the experts will be followed by a Q&A session. Submit your questions: https://bit.ly/question-submission
