Doctors are urging Utah parents to ensure their children are vaccinated against measles as the school year gets underway, according to a report published August 13.
The push for vaccination comes as both Utah and America are seeing large numbers of measles cases.
Medical professionals expressed concern regarding the potential for the virus to spread to children with compromised immune systems.
Specifically, doctors are worried about the risk to children who have undergone organ transplants or those who are on new medications.
