Kentucky health officials have warned people who attended a large “spiritual revival” to be on the lookout for any measles symptoms after an unvaccinated participant came down with the disease.Measles are re-emerging as a concerning health issue as anti-vaxxers have spread their message to cover other vaccines. Some religious groups also preach against vaccines. Measles can have serious complications, such as pneumonia and encephalitis. Nearly 250,000 kindergarten children are now vulnerable to the disease amid a drop off in vaccinations, according to a recent report by the Centers for Disease Control.
