We collected and charted data from the past five decades. The results are eye-opening. The U.S. recorded 940 measles cases as of May 24 – far below the nearly 400,000 cases in 1963, when the vaccine was first introduced. In response to surging cases, New York City ordered last month that people in ZIP codes affected by measles outbreaks receive vaccinations or face a $1,000 fine.
In these recent outbreaks, many were infected despite receiving both doses of the vaccine, but research has found that their vaccination levels likely limited the spread and severity of the disease. Public health officials say these outbreaks could indicate that three doses may be necessary to protect immunity.
