Senator Schumer Asks for Free Measles Vaccines
The childhood disease measles is making its way back in the nation. U.S. Senator Charles Schumer is concerned that it may become an epidemic, so has asked the CDC to make the measles vaccine free and widely available. The most recent outbreak of measles has infected at least 102 people in 14 states. There were more than 600 cases reported last year. The vaccine and booster for adults are covered by most insurance policies.
