In a post-COVID world, our relationship with vaccination is much different to how it was pre-pandemic. Unlike the very recent COVID-19 pandemic, measles is a disease humanity has struggled with for centuries. As such, when a vaccination was made available, it proved\u00a0very effective\u00a0in combatting rates of measles outbreaks. Even to the extent that by the year 2000, the World Health Organization was able to declare measles eliminated in the United States.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Unfortunately, this status has been called into question during the past few years. Measles outbreaks are popping up across the U.S., and\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0easy to see why- the vaccination rates for measles continue to fall.\u00a0There are numerous possible causes for this, but the end result is the same.\u00a0If nothing changes, measles cases will continue to increase.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

However,\u00a0Walla Walla\u00a0County\u00a0has\u00a0been doing\u00a0its\u00a0due diligence! According to the USA Today Vaccination Tracker that can be found\u00a0<\/span>here<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0Walla Walla County\u00a0is\u00a0close to the 95% vaccination rate that experts say will dramatically lower measles outbreaks.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
