  • CDC Warns Measles Cases Surge to Four Times Normal With 733 Confirmed Cases Across US States

    CDC Warns Measles Cases Surge to Four Times Normal With 733 Confirmed Cases Across US States
    2026/02/12
    The United States is currently facing multiple significant public health alerts that listeners should be aware of.

    According to the CDC, measles cases have surged to four times the annual norm in recent weeks, with at least 733 confirmed cases reported as of early February. This represents a dramatic spike compared to the typical 180 cases annually since measles was declared eliminated in 2000. The outbreak is concentrated in pockets of under-vaccinated and unvaccinated communities across multiple states, with South Carolina reporting more than 930 cases. California has also seen a new measles outbreak in Shasta County with eight confirmed cases in the past ten days, while Utah's ongoing outbreak has grown to 272 cases. Health officials warn the United States will likely lose its measles elimination status in April if transmission continues at current rates.

    CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz has called on Americans to get vaccinated against measles, emphasizing that the MMR vaccine is 97 percent effective at preventing the disease when given in two doses. He assured the public that there will be no barriers to accessing the measles vaccine through Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, or ACA marketplace plans.

    Beyond measles, pertussis cases are also rising. Colorado State University reported 14 confirmed cases of whooping cough during the fall 2025 semester, prompting health officials to encourage students to verify their TDAP vaccination status.

    Internationally, the CDC has issued a Level 2 travel alert for the Seychelles due to a chikungunya outbreak. The virus spreads through mosquito bites, causing fever and joint pain typically starting three to seven days after infection. Most people recover within a week, though some may experience severe joint pain lasting months or years. The CDC recommends travelers get the chikungunya vaccine and use insect repellent, wear long-sleeved clothing, and stay in air-conditioned spaces or screened areas.

    Additionally, chikungunya remains highly active across the region with over 7,300 cases reported in early 2026, according to health surveillance data.

    A concerning trend has also emerged regarding vaccine confidence. According to an Annenberg Public Policy Center survey, perceived safety of the MMR vaccine has dropped to 83 percent from 86 percent just over a year ago. Experts note this decline coincides with the highest measles transmission rates in several decades, underscoring the critical importance of vaccination during this outbreak period.

    Listeners are strongly encouraged to verify their vaccination status and consult healthcare providers about any concerns. Thank you for tuning in to this public health update.

  • Multiple Disease Outbreaks Reported Across US States: Measles, Avian Flu, and COVID-19 Clusters

    Multiple Disease Outbreaks Reported Across US States: Measles, Avian Flu, and COVID-19 Clusters
    2026/02/10
    Listeners, as of today, ProMED reports ongoing public health concerns across the United States, with measles cases documented in 34 states including Florida and the District of Columbia, prompting requests for more information on spread and control measures. ProMED also notes avian influenza outbreaks in Pennsylvania, Colorado, and South Dakota affecting poultry and other animals, urging vigilance for those handling birds. In Virginia, salmonellosis has struck horses, and equine herpesvirus cases continue there and in Illinois.

    New York has seen pediatric influenza deaths, according to ProMED, while Missouri reports a COVID-19 cluster in a county jail. Tuberculosis exposures occurred in New York high schools, and a botulism risk from uneviscerated dried fish led to a nationwide recall. Norovirus hit a Massachusetts assisted living facility, and salmonella linked to leafy greens persists from last year.

    WBUR reports that CDC health threat alerts have decreased significantly since President Trump's return to office, raising worries among doctors and public health experts about timely warnings. ProMED highlights measles in multiple states like North Carolina, Florida, Virginia, South Carolina, Maine, California, Wisconsin, and Idaho, with travel-related exposures and complications like pneumonia and encephalitis.

    For need-to-know advice, stay up to date on vaccinations, especially measles, amid rising cases. Practice good hand hygiene to curb norovirus and flu, avoid raw or undercooked animal products to prevent salmonella and avian flu risks, and check recalls for food safety.

  • CDC Reports 733 Measles Cases Across 20 US States as MMR Vaccination Rates Fall Below Herd Immunity Threshold

    CDC Reports 733 Measles Cases Across 20 US States as MMR Vaccination Rates Fall Below Herd Immunity Threshold
    2026/02/07
    Listeners, as of February 5, 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 733 confirmed measles cases across 20 U.S. jurisdictions, including Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. According to ContagionLive, this marks a 24.7% increase from 588 cases the previous week, with 92% of cases tied to outbreaks—two new ones reported in 2026 alone. The CDC warns that only 10 states meet the 95% MMR vaccine coverage needed for herd immunity, putting the nation at risk of losing measles elimination status.

    In Maine, the Maine CDC confirmed one measles case in a Penobscot County adult infectious from January 28 through February 5, urging exposure monitoring at specific sites. Pennsylvania health officials note a confirmed case exposed visitors at a Montgomery County urgent care on January 29. Florida's Ave Maria clinic reports slowing local cases but recommends free MMR vaccines from the Department of Health, especially amid campus alerts at places like Florida Gulf Coast University.

    The CDC has issued a nationwide health advisory on the New World Screwworm outbreak expanding in affected regions, stressing prevention for travelers and pet owners—no U.S. infestations yet, but potential spread looms. A CDC study highlights the growing threat of invasive E. coli infections, with U.S. incidence rates higher than expected.

    Avian flu continues, with USDA's APHIS confirming outbreaks sickening millions of birds in Pennsylvania and Colorado. Tuberculosis exposure warnings hit a Long Island school district after a community case.

    The best protection remains up-to-date MMR vaccination, hand hygiene, and avoiding exposed sites if unvaccinated. Consult your provider for symptoms like fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, or rash.
