    Reid Reads: Measles Virus School Project

    This week on Reid Reads, I'm sharing some of the research I recently completed for school on the measles virus. According to the World Health Organization, measles is most common in children, but it can infect anyone, leading to serious complications and, in some cases, death. Despite being vaccine-preventable, measles cases are rising again around the world. So, what makes this virus so contagious? How does it affect the immune system? And why is it making a comeback?
