Measles cases on the rise in the U.S.

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

Measles cases are on the rise in the nation. With 97 reported cases so far this year, we've already surpassed the total number of measles cases in the U.S. in 2023.

We speak with a local doctor about protecting your family from what she says is one of the most infectious viruses — if not the most infectious virus.

Dr. Ashley Sands is a pediatric infectious disease physician at Sanford Health in Sioux Falls.
