Measles is roaring back in Maine’s Somerset County—health officials are sounding the alarm as this highly contagious virus, which can cause pneumonia and brain swelling, spreads from an outbreak linked to a facility. With dozens of cases on the rise and more potentially on the way, experts are urging everyone to check their MMR vaccination status and get boosted if needed. This resurgence underscores the vital role of herd immunity—protecting not just yourself but vulnerable community members who can’t be vaccinated. Stay alert: watch for fever, cough, runny nose, and that classic rash—and help stop this outbreak by getting vaccinated and staying informed.
