Caption

The image on the left shows the results of a simulation where a single measles case is introduced to Dallas-Fort Worth under current vaccination rates. The right shows what could happen if that same case were introduced after vaccination rates fall by 10%. This simulation is called FRED Measles Texas and was created by the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health.
