The Power of Vaccination ✅ Miami-Dade, Florida: A recent measles case at Miami Palmetto Senior High School was quickly contained, thanks to a 99.7% vaccination rate. Only one case was reported, with no further spread. Health officials credit the high vaccination coverage for preventing an outbreak. ⚠️ State of Texas: In contrast, Texas is facing a serious measles outbreak, primarily in West Texas, with 223 reported cases and 29 hospitalizations. Alarmingly, 98% of those infected were unvaccinated or had incomplete vaccinations. Low community vaccination rates are driving the spread and increasing hospitalizations. 💉 The Difference? Vaccination. This clear contrast shows how high vaccination rates protect communities, especially against highly contagious diseases like measles. __________________________________________________________ El Poder de la Vacunación ✅ Miami-Dade, Florida: Un caso reciente de sarampión en Miami Palmetto Senior High School fue rápidamente contenido, gracias a una tasa de vacunación del 99.7%.

🚨 Measles Outbreak Spreading in the U.S. 🚨 Measles is making a comeback due to declining vaccination rates. As of March 2025, outbreaks have been reported in 10 states, including Florida. In Texas, 159 cases have been reported since late January, with 22 hospitalizations and one fatality—an unvaccinated school-aged child with no underlying conditions. Why It’s Spreading: ❌ Highly contagious—spreads easily among the unvaccinated ❌ Vaccination rates have dropped below the 95% needed to prevent outbreaks 📢 Measles was nearly eliminated in the U.S., but low vaccination rates are bringing it back. Protect yourself and your community—get vaccinated! 💉✨ #measlesoutbreak #Measles #MeaslesAwareness #VaccinesSaveLives #vaccines #VaccinesWork #FIDEC #fightingInfectiousDiseases (fb)
