South Carolina seeks non-CDC reinforcements to contain growing measles outbreak
A dozen public health experts are arriving in South Carolina to assist in containing the state’s measles outbreak, which is the largest in the U.S. in over 30 years.
The reinforcements are arriving from organizations outside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as the outbreak continues to grow.
Their arrival highlights the scale of the outbreak and the demand for additional resources from non-CDC sources to support state and local health departments.
