概要

Listeners, as of February 20, 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 982 confirmed measles cases across 26 states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Contagion Live and ABC News note this surge includes 72 new cases last week, with 94 percent among unvaccinated individuals or those with unknown status, driven largely by a South Carolina outbreak now at 962 cases according to state health officials. The CDC recommends two doses of the MMR vaccine for 97 percent protection, as one dose offers 93 percent.

Influenza remains a major concern, with the CDC's latest FluView update reporting five more pediatric deaths last week, totaling 71 child flu deaths this season. CIDRAP indicates high activity in 26 states, with test positivity at 19.8 percent, 14,940 hospitalizations, and estimates of 24 million illnesses nationwide. Influenza A dominates at 54.6 percent, but B is rising; 90 percent of deaths are among those not fully vaccinated. Respiratory illness visits are at 4.5 percent, above the epidemic threshold.

RSV activity is moderate and growing in much of the country per CDC data, with highest emergency visits among infants and young children, followed by seniors. COVID-19 is declining, but vaccination rates lag: only 48 percent of children and adults got flu shots, 17.6 percent of adults the latest COVID vaccine.

The CDC canceled its February Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting with no reschedule yet, as Reuters reports amid policy shifts under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including dropped recommendations for several childhood vaccines. Leadership changes continue, with NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya as acting CDC director.
