“Plummeting measles vaccination rates should set off every alarm. Tens of millions of children are at risk of this deadly yet entirely preventable disease until we get global vaccination efforts back on track. There is no time to waste. We must work urgently to ensure lifesaving vaccines reach every last child.”
