Melissa in the Morning: Measles Death, Listeria Outbreak
</h5>
<div class="text-line-clamp text-line-clamp-3 balanced-p fs-8 text-muted text-break">

We talked about measles outbreaks with Dr. Fred Browne. We also discussed a recent article on a listeria outbreak in 21 states, including Connecticut.
