 Listeners, here's the latest on public health alerts across the United States as of mid-March 2026. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 81 new measles cases nationwide in the past week, pushing the 2026 total to 1,362 across 30 states and New York City, with 94 percent tied to outbreaks[1][7][8]. The CDC's Virginia Department of Health Situation Update confirms this surge, noting Virginia's four new cases in Southwest Virginia, bringing its yearly total to 14[1]. Major outbreaks continue in South Carolina at 996 cases, now slowing after peaking at 200 weekly, and Utah with 405 cases after adding 47 last week[1][5][7]. Smaller clusters appear in Colorado with up to 10 cases, Washington state at 12, and exposures in Oregon stores[5]. Health officials, including Indiana's Hamilton County Health Department, urge spring break travelers to get fully vaccinated with the MMR shot, as rates dipped below the 95 percent herd immunity threshold[2].

Flu remains elevated but declining slightly, per the CDC's FluView for the week ending March 7, with test positivity at 15.3 percent down from 15.8 percent, alongside 11 more pediatric deaths for the second straight week, classifying this season high severity for children[3]. Hospitalizations dropped to 9,130 from 10,763[3]. Respiratory syncytial virus activity is low nationally but may extend into April in many areas, especially hitting infants under 4[3]. Gastrointestinal illnesses exceed thresholds in Virginia at 11.6 percent of emergency visits[1].

The CDC has issued a global Level 2 polio travel advisory for over 30 countries, advising unvaccinated travelers to get protected before trips[6]. Tick activity is rising, with Virginia noting nearly 1,700 Lyme cases last year[1].
