The 1st day of #school for Clark County School District (#CCSD) in #Nevada is Monday, August 11, 2025.
My daughter teaches high school.
Though it hasn't been published, if you are a parent of a child in the district or one of the thousands of teachers & support staff, you have probably heard that the district is implementing a new policy to deal with kids & adults who come to school with an active case of #measles.
CCSD does have #immunization requirements.
Someone with #measles stayed in the Hampton Inn in Santa Fe on July 25th, then spent the day in Meow Wolf in Santa Fe on the 26th. I suspect the Meow Wolf visit will end up being pretty effective at spreading the disease to any unvaccinated folks who were around that day. https://sourcenm.com/briefs/nm-health-department-reports-possible-measles-exposure-at-meow-wolf/ #SantaFe
#Measles killed 2.6 million people in 1980. These numbers have decreased thanks to the #vaccine. Measles are the most contagious disease that we know, and there is still no treatment. If you become infected, nature takes its course. Falling #vaccination rates will mean millions of deaths again.
Here, we should not talk about #VaccineSideEffects, but about the side effects of not vaccinating. #VaccinesWork, in particular in the case of measles. #VaccinesSaveLives

Second Welsh health board urges MMR uptake amid rising measles threat
Hywel Dda University Health Board is urging young people and families across west Wales to check their MMR vaccination status and book appointments this August, following a recent child death in England and a sharp rise in measles cases across Europe.
The warning comes just weeks after similar appeals from Swansea Bay University Health Board and Public Health Wales, highlighting gaps in immunisation among socially active age groups.
The call to action targets 11–24-year-olds, particularly those entering college, university or the workforce. These groups are considered at higher risk of transmission due to lower recorded vaccination rates and increased social contact.
Dr Ardiana Gjini, Executive Director of Public Health at Hywel Dda, said: “Measles is not a mild illness – it can lead to serious complications, especially in children and vulnerable individuals. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways we can protect ourselves and our communities.”
The health board is offering appointments at local clinics across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire throughout August. Anyone unsure of their vaccination status or who knows they’ve missed a dose is encouraged to come forward.
Appointments can be booked by calling 0300 303 8322 (option 1) or emailing ask.hdd@wales.nhs.uk.
The renewed push follows a modelling report from Public Health Wales showing that some Welsh communities, especially in university towns like Swansea, Cardiff and Aberystwyth, may be vulnerable to sustained outbreaks. The European Region has reported 127,350 measles cases in 2024, the highest in over 25 years.
Swansea Bay News previously reported on the risks posed by unvaccinated teens and students in the region, warning that gaps in MMR coverage could trigger the next outbreak:

“Several locations in Smithers are possible #measles outbreak sites, according to #NorthernHealth.
There may have been exposures at The Aspen Riverhouse Restaurant, The ROI Movie Theatre, McDonald's and 7-Eleven on July 19”

These are not "old" diseases, as they've never totally gone away.
These are diseases of the less educated.

Since year 2014, Russia has been using social media to manipulate Americans / USA people into not vaccinating against #measles to save children lives. This was reported all over the world in August 2018, including Fox News.

"Technically, Gaines and Lubbock counties are no longer considered active outbreak counties...But as the region catches its breath and wait for the entire outbreak to end, health professionals like Holbrooks, Wells and Parkey, as well as the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), have all been considering what worked and what could be improved after working the first real infectious disease test, post COVID-19."
