US May Lose Measles-Free Status

The United States might lose its measles-free status because there have been many cases of measles recently.

This is because fewer children are getting vaccinated, which makes it easier for the disease to spread.

Health experts are worried because measles is very contagious and can be dangerous, especially for young children.

The government is trying to increase vaccination rates, but it's hard because some people don't trust vaccines.

There have been big outbreaks in Texas, Mexico, and other places, and health officials will decide in April if the US still qualifies as measles-free.

Experts say the US needs to do better at vaccinating people to stop the spread of measles.
