The UK lost measles elimination status after widespread 2024 transmission and sub-95% MMRV vaccination uptake (92% first dose, just under 85% second dose).
"It's troubling to see the erosion of the committee's integrity," said Dr. Sandra Fryhofer, who spoke on behalf of the American Medical Association on Friday, "We're concerned about how vaccine recommendations are being developed by this new panel, data is being selectively used to justify specific conclusions."
