  • Measles Outbreak Spreads Across Southern States Prompting Urgent Vaccination Calls and Public Health Warnings

    Measles Outbreak Spreads Across Southern States Prompting Urgent Vaccination Calls and Public Health Warnings
    2025/11/13
    Listeners, here’s the latest on public health alerts across the United States for today, November 13, 2025.

    The South Carolina Department of Public Health has confirmed an ongoing measles outbreak in the Upstate region, now reporting 43 total cases linked to this outbreak and 46 cases statewide since the start of the year. On November 2, a public exposure occurred at Kanpai of Tokyo restaurant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Health officials advise anyone present at the restaurant that day between 3 and 6 p.m. to monitor for measles symptoms—fever, cough, congestion, and rash—and to contact a healthcare provider if symptoms develop. Unvaccinated individuals, especially children and the immunocompromised, are most at risk. The outbreak demonstrates the critical importance of maintaining updated MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccination status, as emphasized by the South Carolina DPH.

    ProMED, a global health monitoring service, also reports recent measles activity in Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and Tennessee. In Tennessee, health authorities note that the most recent measles case is the first travel-related, unvaccinated case in Nashville in two decades. Nationwide, health departments urge listeners to confirm that all family members—particularly children—are current on MMR vaccinations to help stop further spread.

    Infant health is another emerging focus. Food and Drug Administration communications indicate the agency is closely monitoring certain lots of infant formula after recent reports of infant botulism cases. For caregivers, stay alert for any new advisories or recalls and always check formula batch numbers before use.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration have directed manufacturers of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to update warning labels and include expanded information about myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly among young males. These updates do not change vaccine recommendations, but listeners should discuss any specific health concerns with healthcare providers.

    The FDA has also issued recommendations for the 2025-2026 influenza vaccine composition. The public is encouraged to receive this season’s flu vaccine as the primary defense against seasonal influenza. According to the ACIP, new respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines are now recommended for babies and people aged 50 and older, broadening protection for vulnerable groups.

    Direct Relief has announced $2 million in funding to support ten community health centers tackling respiratory health. This signals an ongoing nationwide focus on respiratory illness as we enter the cooler part of the year, a time when rates of common respiratory infections tend to rise.

    The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services continues to track and assess a variety of other health topics, from chemical safety risks under TSCA evaluations to ongoing Medicaid and public assistance program changes, as referenced in the Federal Register.

    Listeners are reminded to practice good hygiene, stay current with routine vaccinations, and pay close attention to updates from local and state health departments, especially if any family members are in high-risk populations. As always, if symptoms of infectious illness arise or exposure is suspected, consult a medical provider for advice and potential testing.

  • FDA Warns Parents About Infant Botulism Outbreak Linked to ByHeart Formula Recall Across Multiple States

    FDA Warns Parents About Infant Botulism Outbreak Linked to ByHeart Formula Recall Across Multiple States
    2025/11/11
    Today, listeners across the United States should be aware of several important public health alerts and advisories pertinent to Tuesday, November 11, 2025.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration report an ongoing infant botulism outbreak linked to ByHeart brand powdered infant formula. Since August, 13 infant botulism cases have been identified in 10 states—six confirmed to involve botulinum toxin type A. ByHeart Inc. has voluntarily recalled two lots of its Whole Nutrition Infant Formula. The CDC urges caregivers and parents not to feed any recalled formula to infants and to dispose of the affected product immediately. If your child shows symptoms such as constipation, loss of appetite, weakness, poor sucking, altered cry, or striking loss of head control after consuming ByHeart formula, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms may take up to 30 days to develop and can progress rapidly, especially in infants under two months old. Untreated, the illness may result in paralysis, difficulty breathing, hospitalization, or even death. The CDC’s official advice is not to wait for laboratory confirmation before starting treatment if infant botulism is suspected. Treatment with BabyBIG, a botulism immune globulin, should begin as quickly as possible. For more guidance, visit the FDA’s recall notice or the CDC’s botulism outbreak page.

    Several state health departments, including those in West Virginia and Hawaii, have amplified this recall, urging health care providers and clinicians to question parents about what formula brand their infants consume. Providers are also asked to be vigilant for classic symptoms of infant botulism and to report any suspected cases to their local health departments.

    In other national health policy news, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has announced a significant regulatory update around hormone replacement therapy for menopause. According to the FDA’s press release, black box warnings—previously indicating increased cardiovascular, breast cancer, and probable dementia risks—are being removed following a comprehensive review of clinical literature and expert consensus. These warnings were based on older studies involving women well past typical menopausal age using hormone types not common today, and contemporary evidence no longer supports the blunt application of such warnings for most menopausal women. The warning for the risk of endometrial cancer remains in place for systemic estrogen-alone therapy when not balanced by progesterone. The FDA will continue requiring tailored risk information on specific therapies, and experts advise initiating hormone therapy before age 60 for optimal safety. According to STAT News, these changes aim to correct two decades of confusion and improve access to safe symptom relief for millions of women.

    Air quality remains a concern for vulnerable groups, especially as winter approaches and people spend more time indoors. The Environmental Protection Agency reminds listeners that indoor air pollution from mold, radon, and smoke can trigger symptoms in children, seniors, and those with asthma or heart disease. Simple steps like improving ventilation and monitoring for mold or smoke exposure, especially after recent natural disasters or weather extremes, are strongly recommended by local health districts.

    There are currently no broad infectious disease outbreaks reported today that impact the general public beyond the infant formula recall. Beach and recreational water advisories remain localized and are generally safe, though residents in some areas are advised to monitor local updates for water quality after heavy rains.

    Listeners are reminded to check any baby formula against recall lists, consult with their health care providers if they have concerns, and stay updated on evolving women’s health recommendations.

  • US Public Health Alert Major Updates Measles Polio Risk Prescription Drug Costs Medicare Vaccination Recommendations Fall 2023

    US Public Health Alert Major Updates Measles Polio Risk Prescription Drug Costs Medicare Vaccination Recommendations Fall 2023
    2025/11/08
    Listeners, today’s public health alerts in the United States include several important updates and advisories you need to know. According to KFF Health News, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services just launched a new program allowing participating state Medicaid agencies to buy select prescription drugs at prices aligned with what other countries pay. This could potentially lower drug costs for millions. There’s also a new deal from the federal government with drugmakers Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to offer weight-loss medications at significant discounts for eligible Medicare and Medicaid patients, with a new government website in the works for direct access next year.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warn that the measles risk remains a top concern, with three official deaths and over 200 hospitalizations from measles in the United States this year. There is also a new global travel alert: the CDC has raised polio to a Level 2 advisory, urging all Americans traveling internationally to ensure they are fully vaccinated against polio. Anyone who has previously completed their polio vaccine schedule may get a single, lifetime booster before travel. Travelers are also warned about chikungunya outbreaks in China’s Guangdong Province and Bolivia; precautions such as using insect repellent and protective clothing are strongly advised, with pregnant people especially discouraged from travel to outbreak areas per the CDC.

    Within the U.S., ProMED reported a pertussis—whooping cough—spike, especially in Texas where cases are reportedly four times higher than last year according to My San Antonio. This disease is highly infectious, and health officials remind listeners to remain up to date with Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccines for both children and adults. ProMED also alerts listeners to ongoing measles activity, noting a recent case in Nevada, and to a recent recall of uneviscerated fish in New York City due to botulism risk.

    On the influenza front, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend everyone six months or older get their annual flu shot this fall. For those 65 and older, high-dose flu vaccine options are preferred and fully covered under Medicare. The CDC also urges older adults and those with serious health conditions to get an RSV vaccine if eligible. NPR reports that avian influenza, or bird flu, has surged among poultry this fall, killing millions of birds and raising concerns for possible spillover. The federal government is monitoring, and a new intranasal H5N1 flu vaccine has produced strong immune responses in early trials, per Nature Communications.

    In mental health news, Roll Call highlights ongoing reductions in funding and staffing for federal mental health and addiction response agencies. VA programs are expanding clinical trials of psychedelic therapies for PTSD, according to Military.com.

    SNAP and WIC benefits, vital for food security, were at risk during the recent government funding uncertainty. However, New Hampshire’s Health Department and other states confirmed that federal food assistance benefits for Women, Infants, and Children, as well as SNAP households, will be distributed in full this month according to New Hampshire Public Radio. State and local agencies urge participants to check official communications for exact payment timing.

    Listeners are reminded to stay attentive to routine vaccine schedules for children, now under review by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as reported by Boise State Public Radio. WSSC Water announced the lifting of recreational water contact advisories for Maryland’s Triadelphia Reservoir, reporting water quality improvements.

    Stay vigilant about food recalls and illness risks, especially those related to botulism, listeria, or salmonella, and follow public advisories. Wash hands frequently, ensure vaccinations are current, and consult your healthcare provider about the latest recommendations for seasonal vaccines and travel. For travelers, confirm your destination’s vaccine and health risks with the CDC before departure.
