  • California Endorses 2026 Immunization Schedule as Measles Cases Hit 30 Year High Across United States

    California Endorses 2026 Immunization Schedule as Measles Cases Hit 30 Year High Across United States
    2026/01/27
    Listeners, as of today, the California Department of Public Health endorses the 2026 American Academy of Pediatrics Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule, highlighting its science-based approach to protecting against 18 diseases amid recent CDC changes. This schedule, similar to prior years, emphasizes vaccines' safety and benefits, with CDPH Director Dr. Erica Pan warning of rising measles cases—the highest in over 30 years—risking the U.S. elimination status achieved in 2000 due to low vaccination rates. The California Medical Association and West Coast Health Alliance also back this AAP guidance for families and providers.

    Meanwhile, ProMED reports ongoing measles outbreaks in U.S. states including Arizona, Utah, Washington, Florida, and South Carolina, with cases soaring and marking the highest numbers in decades. A recent autochthonous chikungunya case appeared in Florida, and a botulism case was confirmed in Montana. Legionellosis struck an Illinois developmental center.

    The European Society of Cardiology notes wildfire smoke exposure linked to 17,000 strokes across the U.S., urging caution for those in affected areas.

    Weather-related alerts include delayed openings: Worcester County Health Department in Maryland at 10 a.m., Northwest Georgia Health District offices until 10 a.m. (Walker County at 11 a.m.), and Alexander T. Augusta Military Medical Center closed except for emergency and inpatient services.

    For polio and MMR vaccines, CDC's advisory chair Dr. Kirk Milhoan questions broad recommendations given improved sanitation, but experts like Dr. Paul Offit counter that sanitation actually heightened polio risks historically, with last year's 2,255 measles cases and first deaths in over a decade underscoring vaccination needs.

    Stay vaccinated, monitor local weather impacts on health services, and protect against respiratory risks from smoke. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

  • CDC Health Alert: Screwworm Outbreak in Mexico, Elevated Flu Cases, and Measles Concerns in January 2026

    CDC Health Alert: Screwworm Outbreak in Mexico, Elevated Flu Cases, and Measles Concerns in January 2026
    2026/01/24
    Several significant health alerts are currently affecting the United States as we move through January 2026.

    The most pressing concern involves a New World Screwworm outbreak in Northern Mexico that has prompted a CDC Health Advisory. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1,190 cases and seven deaths in people have been reported across Central America and Mexico as of January 20th. Mexico has documented 24 hospitalizations and 601 active animal cases. While no screwworm infestations have been identified in the United States yet, the CDC warns of potential geographic spread, particularly in Texas and border regions. Clinicians should consider screwworm infection in patients presenting with visible larvae or egg masses in wounds or body openings like ears, eyes, nose, or mouth. The CDC recommends that healthcare providers ask patients about recent travel to affected areas and immediately notify local epidemiology units of suspected cases.

    Influenza activity remains elevated nationally, though the CDC reports it has declined for three consecutive weeks. According to the most recent CDC FluView report for the week ending January 17th, positive flu tests declined to 17.7 percent from 18.6 percent the previous week. However, the 2025-26 flu season has been severe, with the CDC estimating at least 19 million illnesses, 250,000 hospitalizations, and 10,000 deaths. The dominant strain is influenza A-H3N2, with over 90 percent belonging to a variant that has evaded current vaccine immunity.

    Measles continues to pose a concern, with the United States potentially losing its measles-free status. ProMED reports a continuing rise in cases in South Carolina, with additional cases reported in North Carolina. The CDC is examining whether recent outbreaks in South Carolina, Utah, Arizona, and Texas represent continuous viral circulation between January 20, 2025 and January 20, 2026, which would result in loss of the nation's measles elimination status achieved in 2000.

    RSV activity is moderate and decreasing nationally, though elevated in some regions, particularly affecting children under five years old and infants under 12 months. COVID-19 activity remains low and decreasing nationwide.

    An ongoing infant botulism outbreak linked to ByHeart Whole Nutrition powdered infant formula has affected 51 cases, though the CDC reports no new cases have been added since December 10th, 2025.

    Listeners should monitor CDC guidance closely, particularly regarding travel to Mexico or Central America, and ensure their vaccinations are current, especially for measles and influenza.

  • CDC Issues Multiple Health Alerts: Screwworm Risk, Severe Flu Season, and Measles Outbreaks Across US

    CDC Issues Multiple Health Alerts: Screwworm Risk, Severe Flu Season, and Measles Outbreaks Across US
    2026/01/22
    Listeners, here's the latest on public health alerts across the United States as of today. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a Health Alert Network advisory on January 20 warning about New World screwworm cases in Mexico's Tamaulipas state, right across the Texas border. According to the CDC, no infestations have been found in people or animals in the US yet, but the risk of spread is real. This parasitic fly lays eggs in wounds or body openings, causing potentially deadly myiasis, especially in cattle, horses, and humans. Clinicians should check travel history for symptoms like visible egg masses. Treatment involves surgical removal of larvae, as no specific medications are proven effective.

    Hospitals are reporting one of the worst flu seasons in years, per Chief Healthcare Executive. A powerful influenza A H3N2 strain has led to high patient volumes, especially among kids under eight, with the CDC estimating 230,000 hospitalizations and 9,300 deaths so far, including 32 pediatric deaths. Blood supplies are down 35% due to the surge, and some facilities are delaying elective procedures. Vaccination rates are lower amid recent changes dropping universal flu shot recommendations for kids.

    RSV cases remain elevated nationwide, the CDC notes, with rising emergency visits for young children. New immunizations like maternal vaccines and infant antibody shots are available, and public awareness is growing according to an Annenberg Public Policy Center survey.

    Measles outbreaks continue in at least nine states, with over 640 cases in South Carolina mostly among unvaccinated children, as reported by Public Health Watch. The US risks losing measles elimination status.

    The CDC is updating the childhood immunization schedule to focus on 11 core vaccines like MMR and polio, following a HHS review aligning with peer nations, while keeping all covered by insurance.

    Stay vigilant, get vaccinated where recommended, and consult your doctor. Thanks for tuning in, listeners—please subscribe for more updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
