A recent measles outbreak in Chicago has affected multiple individuals, including students from the Chicago Public Schools (CPS). A student at Cooper Dual Language Elementary Academy developed measles on Monday, contributing to a total of 10 confirmed cases in the city as of Wednesday evening. This outbreak follows a concerning trend of increased measles cases in Chicago, with two CPS students from different schools being among those infected. Health and school officials are raising alarms about the spread of the disease, especially in light of information that less than half of CPS students without stable housing were fully immunized a week before the outbreak. The situation has sparked a broader discussion on the importance of vaccination and the dangers of misinformation regarding measles.
