for a family vacation. They traveled to several locations in Kentucky and Tennessee, including a popular tourist destination in Kentucky. The student, who is unvaccinated, was diagnosed with measles after returning to WKU. The student’s mother, who is vaccinated, was not exposed to measles. The student’s diagnosis has prompted a public health alert from the Kentucky Department of Public Health. The alert warns that there could be more exposures in both states.

This statement is true, but it’s important to note that while Kentucky has a high vaccination rate, measles outbreaks can still occur. The reason for this is that vaccine effectiveness wanes over time, and there are always pockets of unvaccinated individuals in any population. For example, in 2019, a measles outbreak in the United States caused by a single unvaccinated individual led to 1,200 cases and 12 deaths.
