https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02-measles-college-campuses-cases-states.htmlMeasles is now extending beyond families with young children, with outbreaks reported on college campuses and communities across the country.
At least 12 people have tested positive for measles at Ave Maria University in Florida, near Naples, since Jan. 29, according to local officials. Three people were taken to the hospital.
A student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison also tested positive after traveling overseas.
Earlier this year, Clemson University in South Carolina confirmed a measles case linked to someone with ties to the school.
It takes only three cases of measles for health officials to declare an outbreak.

swelling of the testicles that likewise can result in sterility. Whoah boy will that cause the anti-vaxxers to stand up and take notice.
But, yes, older adolescents and adults CAN and DO develop serious sequelae from measles as well, including less common brain infections and deadly pneumonia--if they can't manage to care about the little ones developing the same.
