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.
