Measles cases in the US reach 20-year high
http://www.bbc.com/news/health-27625640
Public health experts in the US are urging people to get vaccinated after a spike in measles cases in the country this year.
The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention reported 288 cases of measles in the first five months of 2014 - the largest number for 20 years.
The outbreak is thought to be linked to US citizens travelling to the Philippines.
The CDC says timely vaccination is the best way to prevent measles.
