Measles is making a comeback. This is a big deal because it's a very contagious disease. It can be serious, especially for young kids. Experts are worried because the number of cases is going up. They think this might be because some people are not getting vaccinated. Vaccines are a hot topic right now. Some people have concerns about them. But doctors say vaccines are safe and important. They protect not just the person getting the shot, but also others around them. This is called herd immunity. It means that if enough people are vaccinated, the disease can't spread easily.
There's a new rule coming out soon. It's called the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). This rule is about making sure labs do their work correctly. It's important for keeping people safe. The rule is still being finalized, but it's expected to be released soon. Measles can cause serious problems. It can lead to things like pneumonia and brain swelling. That's why it's so important to get vaccinated. The vaccine is very effective. It can prevent most cases of measles. But it only works if people actually get the shot. Some people think measles is not a big deal. They say it's just a childhood illness. But that's not true. Measles can be very dangerous. It can even be deadly. That's why it's so important to take it seriously. Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and others.
