The announcement in Rockland County follows other outbreaks of the disease in Washington, California, Texas and Illinois. Vaccination rates have dropped steadily in the US with many parents objecting for philosophical or religious reasons, or because they believe discredited information that vaccines cause autism in children. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, there are 314 cases of measles currently reported in the US.
