WASHINGTON -- A leading U.S. health official on Sunday urged people to get inoculated against the measles at a time of outbreaks across several states and as the United States is at risk of losing its measles elimination status.

He said Medicare and Medicaid will continue to cover the measles vaccine as part of the insurance programs.

But Oz also said “we have advocated for measles vaccines all along” and that Kennedy “has been on the very front of this.”.

Oz argued that Kennedy's stance was supportive of the measles vaccine despite Kennedy's general comments about the recommended vaccine schedule.
