概要

 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.
