Measles remains one of the most contagious infectious diseases in the world. It can linger in the air for up to two hours after an infected person has left a room, making transmission highly efficient and difficult to contain. While the illness is often associated with childhood, its effects can be especially dangerous for vulnerable populations, including infants, older adults, pregnant individuals, and people with compromised immune systems. With vaccination rates dropping, Stanford Medicine experts share five things to know about measles.

With vaccination rates dropping, infectious disease experts worry that more people among the most vulnerable populations will be at serious risk.
