Experts: Measles Outbreak Caused By Distrust Of Public Health CBS Atlanta

And by all accounts, these outbreaks spread from the DIsneyland outbreak------

Measles has managed to make a resurgence despite its virtual eradication in the U.S. in the 1970s.

The specifics of its spread rest in the practice of vaccination.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the MMR, the vaccination for measles, be given in two doses to babies and children, but vaccinations such as MMR are not required in many states.

California is one of those states.

Parents can opt-out of giving their children the shot by filling out a personal belief exemption form, and in 2014, a massive 13,592 personal belief exemptions were filed in California.
