U.S. Could Lose Measles Elimination Status as Cases Surge

The Center for Disease Control has reported more than 5,000 measles cases so far this year, already doubling last year's total. Now, concerns are growing that the U.S. may lose its measles elimination status. Measles was considered eliminated in the country back in 2000, but as vaccination rates have dropped, outbreaks have surged. NBC's Aaron Gilchrist reports for Sunday TODAY.
