Lancaster County added 18 cases in a week, bringing its total to 496; Northumberland County reported another case. Some Amish families are seeking MMR shots, while mobile clinics work to build trust. Diagnosis Delays: A national study found nearly 7% of reported measles cases were initially misdiagnosed, often in outpatient settings—delays that may give the highly contagious virus more chances to spread.
