Overview

Measles was once thought to be a disease of the past, nearly wiped out thanks to vaccines. But today, it's making a dangerous comeback, threatening communities worldwide. What went wrong? This book delves deeply into the history, science, and ongoing fight against measles. From the early days of deadly outbreaks to the groundbreaking development of the MMR vaccine, it unpacks how the disease spreads, why it's so contagious, and how global vaccination efforts nearly eliminated it.
