Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is urging families to vaccinate children against measles as outbreaks continue across the United States.
The Guardian reported that Kennedy, who spent years promoting vaccine misinformation and questioning aspects of vaccination policy, made the appeal amid renewed concern over measles transmission.
Measles is highly contagious, and public-health officials say vaccination remains the most effective protection. Families should check immunization records and consult a medical professional about missed doses, exemptions or questions.
