2025 measles resurgence carries estimated $244 million price tag

Vaccine preventable deaths are horrific.

But outbreaks are also costly.

Recent measles outbreaks in the US cost $244 million in 2025

If vaccination drops by 1% annually costs could reach $1.5 billion/yr by 2030

Making America unhealthy & poor again.
