Measles on the rise after 19-year absence
Experts fear that measles, declared eliminated from the US in 2000, is here to stay and getting worse, and they point a finger at parents who do not vaccinate their children. CNN's Elizabeth Cohen reports. Correction: This article and an accompanying video previously included a photograph of a child with a rash caused by a vaccination. The image has been removed.
