Resumen del Editor

Measles, once a rite of passage for thousands of children (and their parents), has largely been eliminated in this country, thanks to the MMR vaccine. How this happened is an illustration of herd immunity: that is, although not everyone is vaccinated against measles, enough people have been and as a consequence the virus has a hard time finding a new host. However, recent, small outbreaks in the U.S. have public health officials worried. The outbreaks mean that herd immunity is breaking down. Producer Barbara Bogaev visits Minneapolis, where a minor measles outbreak was a major cause for concern in the Somali immigrant community. Community pressures, social stigmas, and disputed medical reports all led to the breakdown of the herd.
