According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than half of the world will be at a 'high or very high risk' of measles outbreaks by the end of 2024. The increase in measles cases globally has been attributed to a significant number of missed vaccinations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Measles, also known as rubeola, is a highly contagious airborne disease caused by a virus that can result in severe complications and even death. While it primarily affects children, individuals of any age can be impacted. Common symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose, and a characteristic rash all over the body.
