LINCOLN, NEBRASKA (RFD NEWS) — On this week’s Rural Health Matters, the focus turns to recent measles outbreaks reported in several parts of the country and what they mean for rural communities.
Dr. Jeffrey Gold, president of the University of Nebraska, joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to provide an update on the outbreaks and address whether measles is something many believed had been eliminated in the United States.
In his conversation with RFD NEWS, Dr. Gold discussed the current situation and the importance of awareness as cases re-emerge. He also touched on vaccinations, including why they have long been recommended and why some individuals may now question their use, and offered a perspective on the role vaccines play in preventing the spread of measles and protecting public health.
Before wrapping up, Dr. Gold shared final thoughts with viewers on staying informed and proactive about rural health.
