This year is the 50 th anniversary of the reduction in measles in the USA , following introduction of general vaccination, but also the 20 th anniversary of a now retracted research paper that suggested a link between the measles–mumps–rubella ( MMR ) vaccination and autism, which contributed to falling vaccination rates and re‐emergence of measles cases globally.
