Authorities in Delaware tackle cluster with vaccination and contract tracing – but field has been weakened by cuts Measles outbreaks are igniting throughout the United States as the nation passes the highest case count in 30 years – putting greater pressure on state and local health departments and highlighting the importance of early identification and quick action.
