Reports of measles cases are increasing around the world and in the United States. When there’s a case of measles, it’s possible to spread rapidly among people who don’t have immunity–it’s a very contagious disease. This comic explains how measles is able to spread so easily to people who haven’t previously had measles or been vaccinated against measles.
