The Department of Public Health said hundreds of students and staff at the University of California Los Angeles and California State University had been exposed to a measles carrier earlier this month.
The surge comes amid a growing global movement against inoculation, with an estimated 169 million children missing out on the vital first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017, according to a UNICEF report. Measles is one of world's most contagious viruses. Spread by coughing or sneezing, the virus can linger in the air long after an infected person leaves a room.
