As concerns over measles increase, Dr. Sunil Joshi, Jacksonville’s chief medical officer, joins us to discuss the worrying drop in vaccination rates and the surge in cases across Florida. In 2023, the United States reported 58 measles cases, and in 2024 we’ve already reached that tally, with Florida ranking second-highest, with 10 cases.
