    Stopping the spread: What you need to know about measles in 2025

    As of today, over 600 cases of measles have been reported across 22 states — the largest outbreak the U.S. has seen in more than a decade.  Health experts say a combination of factors is driving the surge: increased international travel, communities with low vaccination rates and misinformation that continues to undermine public trust in vaccines.  Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world. It spreads quickly, especially among those who aren’t vaccinated for it. It can lead to severe symptoms, especially for children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.   So how worried should we be here in Minnesota? How prepared is our public health system to respond if cases rise in our state? And what can we do as a community to stop the spread?  MPR News host Angela Davis talks with a doctor and a state epidemiologist who specialize in infectious diseases and pediatrics. They’ll break down what's happening nationally and what Minnesota is doing to stay ahead of the curve. Guests: Dr. Stacene Maroushek is a pediatrician and pediatric infectious disease specialist at Hennepin Healthcare. She is also a pediatric consultant to the Center for Disease Control’s Division of Global Migration and Quarantine.   Dr. Ruth Lynfield is state epidemiologist and medical director at the Minnesota Department of Health where she is also co-principal investigator of the Minnesota Emerging Infections Program.
