Amid Delaware's measles outbreak, experts provide solutions to prevent further spread

Delaware’s current measles outbreak is now just over a dozen cases — all in Kent County — and four involving children.
This outbreak — which comes as a surprise — doesn’t carry the same weight as COVID earlier in the decade, but is a cause for concern for some adults and children, especially those not vaccinated against measles.
This week, Delaware Public Media’s Joe Irizarry caught up with Delaware Healthcare Association President & CEO Brian Frazee and Kate Smith, Executive Director of the Delaware Academy of Medicine and Public Health, to discuss this measles outbreak, as well as vaccinations and dealing with mis-and disinformation in that area.
