The CDC set a goal in 1978 to eliminate measles in the U.S. by 1982. The goal was not met but the number of cases was drastically reduced because of a vaccine. The disease was declared officially eliminated in 2000.
The majority of those who contract measles are unvaccinated. It's not clear if there have been any cases in the Las Vegas valley.
