In a measles outbreak in Ohio that began in late 2022, most of the 85 children infected were old enough to get the shots, but their parents chose not to do so, officials said.
The state legislature in 2021 had stripped health officials’ abilities to order someone suspected of having an infectious disease to quarantine.
Ladapo’s letter to parents comes at a time of heightened worry about the public health consequences of anti-vaccine sentiment, a long-standing problem that has led to drops in child immunization rates in pockets across the United States.

The first case was reported Friday in a third-grade child who had no history of travel abroad, Florida health officials said.
