Many cases reported in the United States this year were linked to international travel, according to the C.D.C., as travel destinations such as Britain, Austria and the Philippines have had outbreaks. Many of the people in the United States who have been infected have been unvaccinated children age 12 months and older.

Yea, our 1 year old just got her first MMR shot. I think it's a series though so she may only be partially protected at this point.

It's really fucking infuriating that this is a thing at all in 2024.
