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.
