TWO PENNSYLVANIANS DIE FROM MEASLES

Two people are dead from measles in Pennsylvania.  These are the first measles-related deaths in Pennsylvania in 35 years.  Shapiro is urging people to get vaccinated as his state combats the worst measles outbreak in more than three decades. The state’s health secretary said in a release that because measles have been largely eradicated, people seem to be unfamiliar with the potential severity of the disease. So far this year, there have been 393 confirmed cases of measles in Pennsylvania.  That is the highest number of measles cases since 1992.
