Pennsylvania reports 943 measles cases and 5 deaths across 39 counties, with officials warning of further spread due to low vaccination rates and fragmented local health infrastructure. The outbreak highlights the impact of rising vaccine skepticism, partly attributed to the influence of the US health secretary. The situation is developing as containment efforts face structural and social barriers.
