Japan battles worst measles outbreak in 10 years
UPI reports "Japan is currently battling its worst measles outbreak in a decade, authorities said. The National Institute of Infectious Diseases said that as of Feb. 10, the number of measles cases hit 167 for 2019, Asahi Shimbun reported. [...] Japans' outbreak has occurred as several Asian countries are working to contain the disease as well."

Comment: A reminder that the measles outbreak is global. I encourage everyone to get vaccinated to help prevent this very contagious disease.
