  • US Health Alerts January 2025 Measles Outbreak Flu Hospitalizations Norovirus Cruise Ship Vaccination Policy Changes

    US Health Alerts January 2025 Measles Outbreak Flu Hospitalizations Norovirus Cruise Ship Vaccination Policy Changes
    2026/01/15
    Several significant public health alerts are affecting the United States as we head into mid-January.

    A measles outbreak continues to escalate in South Carolina, where health officials reported 124 new cases since last Friday, bringing the total to 434 cases. The majority of cases remain concentrated in Spartanburg County, which borders North Carolina, and over 400 people are currently in quarantine. According to ProMED, measles cases are also rising in Utah and Arizona, with additional exposures reported on airplanes, trains, and ferries across multiple states.

    Influenza activity remains a concern nationwide. California officials warned that flu hospitalizations are increasing across the state, with projections showing further rises in the coming weeks. State Public Health Officer Dr. Erica Pan emphasized that it's not too late to receive flu vaccines for anyone six months and older, though forecasts suggest this season may not be as severe as last year's.

    A norovirus outbreak struck a cruise ship in Florida, with the Holland America Line's Rotterdam reporting 94 people fell ill during its voyage between late December and early January. Passengers experienced typical symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea.

    Beyond these acute outbreaks, the nation faces a significant policy shift regarding childhood vaccination. In early January, the Department of Health and Human Services announced that the CDC now recommends vaccines against 11 diseases instead of the previous 17. This change eliminated universal immunizations for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal disease, rotavirus, COVID-19, and influenza. However, at least 18 states have rejected these new federal guidelines, with major medical organizations including the American Academy of Pediatrics continuing to recommend the previous, more comprehensive vaccination schedule. Six leading medical organizations are pursuing legal action to block these changes, arguing they lack scientific evidence and pose public health risks.

    Additionally, the FDA recently instructed pharmaceutical companies to remove suicide warnings from labels of popular GLP-1 weight-loss drugs manufactured by Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk.

    Health care workers in Twin Cities hospitals have reported increased concerns about Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entering facilities, sometimes with warrants and sometimes without, during patient care situations.

    Listeners should remain vigilant about measles exposure, ensure influenza vaccination is current, and consult with their healthcare providers regarding childhood vaccination decisions as federal and state guidance diverges.

  • CDC Downgrades Vaccine Recommendations as Flu Surge Kills Children and Measles Cases Rise Across US States

    CDC Downgrades Vaccine Recommendations as Flu Surge Kills Children and Measles Cases Rise Across US States
    2026/01/13
    Listeners, as of today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its childhood immunization schedule, downgrading recommendations for several key vaccines including influenza, RSV, COVID-19, meningococcal disease, rotavirus, and hepatitis A and B from universal to shared clinical decision-making or high-risk only, according to the CDC's January 5 announcement reported by Word in Black and IDSE. Public health experts from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America warn this comes amid a severe flu surge—the worst in 25 years—already claiming at least nine children's lives this season, with Massachusetts reporting its first pediatric flu deaths since 2013, per CIDRAP and ProMED.

    ProMED reports ongoing measles concerns in the US, including a confirmed case in Georgia by the Department of Public Health—the state's first in 2026—and surges in South Carolina with over 200 quarantined, plus cases in North Carolina, Nebraska, Ohio, Idaho, Arizona, and Utah. Whooping cough, or pertussis, is rising in California, and states like Massachusetts reject the new CDC guidance as reckless, citing measles outbreaks and flu deaths.

    Other alerts include vesicular stomatitis confirmed in a horse in Arizona by ProMED, new world screwworm noted by the CDC, rabies in a Texas fox, HIV cases in Maine, and tuberculosis possibly linked in a North Carolina high school. The FDA has removed alcohol from dietary guidelines, advising limits to reduce cancer and heart risks, per Faces and Voices of Recovery.

    The Pan American Health Organization issued an alert for influenza and RSV across the Americas. Experts urge handwashing, staying home when sick, and following evidence-based advice from groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics despite federal changes.

  • CDC Warns of High Flu RSV and Measles Activity This Winter Urges Vaccination and Prevention

    CDC Warns of High Flu RSV and Measles Activity This Winter Urges Vaccination and Prevention
    2026/01/10
    Public health officials in the United States are currently warning listeners about several key health concerns.

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, respiratory viruses remain a major issue this winter. Seasonal influenza activity is high nationwide, with the CDC estimating at least 15 million flu illnesses, 180,000 hospitalizations, and thousands of deaths so far this season. ABC News, citing CDC data, reports that flu activity remains elevated even as some regions are seeing small declines in positive tests. Health authorities continue to urge listeners to get vaccinated if they have not yet done so, and to stay home when sick, wash hands frequently, and wear a mask in crowded indoor spaces if they are vulnerable.

    The University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy reports that respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, also remains elevated, particularly affecting young children, with emergency visits and hospitalizations up among those 0 to 4 years old. COVID-19 continues to contribute to hospitalizations, and federal officials expect the 2025–2026 respiratory season to have a similar burden from COVID, flu, and RSV as last year. Older adults, infants, pregnant people, and those with chronic conditions are strongly encouraged to stay current on recommended vaccines and to seek prompt care for trouble breathing, chest pain, or confusion.

    Measles is another concern. ProMED, an international disease surveillance network run by the International Society for Infectious Diseases, has posted recent alerts on measles cases in multiple U.S. states, including North Carolina, Nebraska, Ohio, Idaho, Arizona, Utah, and South Carolina, reflecting ongoing outbreaks tied to gaps in vaccination. Public health agencies stress that measles is highly contagious and that two doses of the MMR vaccine provide strong protection. Anyone exposed who is not fully vaccinated should contact their health provider or local health department quickly.

    There are also important national policy changes. On January 5, 2026, the CDC revised the childhood vaccine schedule, cutting the number of diseases for which vaccines are routinely recommended from 17 to 11. Coverage in Time magazine, AFP Fact Check, and analyses from the University of California, Berkeley and state and local health departments explain that vaccines for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal disease, rotavirus, influenza, and RSV are now recommended mainly for high-risk children or through shared decision-making with a clinician. Pediatric and infectious disease experts, including the Infectious Diseases Society of America, warn that this may increase the risk of outbreaks if families misinterpret these vaccines as unnecessary and emphasize that these vaccines remain available, safe, and effective.
