SC measles tally nears 1,000 amid vaccine gaps

Measles cases in South Carolina rose by six to 979, with 913 unvaccinated, 19 partially vaccinated, 26 fully vaccinated and 21 with unknown status. About 91 people exposed are in quarantine and one person is in isolation. The outbreak, which began in October and is centered in the northwest part of the state (Greenville–Spartanburg), is being managed with help from about a dozen infectious-disease specialists from the CDC Foundation, as vaccine uptake remains low and officials warn the outbreak could last weeks or months.
