  • Measles Outbreak Surges Nationwide: CDC Reports Record Cases and Urges Vaccination Amid Growing Health Concerns

    Measles Outbreak Surges Nationwide: CDC Reports Record Cases and Urges Vaccination Amid Growing Health Concerns
    2025/07/10
    Listeners, public health officials in the United States are urgently addressing a surge in measles cases, marking the worst year for this disease in more than three decades. As of July 10, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, has reported 1,288 confirmed measles cases across 39 states, with 27 outbreaks recorded so far this year. This number already surpasses the total for 2019, the previous modern record, and with nearly six months still remaining in 2025, authorities are concerned about potential ongoing transmission. Some of the largest current outbreaks began about five months ago in undervaccinated communities in West Texas, and have since spread to other states. Tragically, there have been three confirmed deaths—two children in Texas and an adult in New Mexico—and dozens of hospitalizations. While the CDC says that transmission appears to be slowing in areas like Lubbock County, Texas, community spread remains a threat in multiple states, especially where vaccination rates are low. The CDC continues to urge everyone to ensure that they and their children are fully vaccinated, emphasizing that the measles, mumps, and rubella, or MMR, vaccine is the most effective protection against measles.

    Adding to current concerns, the Food and Drug Administration is investigating a new outbreak of Salmonella Anatum, which has so far sickened at least 10 people nationwide. The agency is in the very early phases of this investigation and has not yet disclosed patient details or the source of contamination. Separately, a Salmonella Oranienburg outbreak linked to imported Emek-brand Pistachio Cream is under ongoing review, with confirmed cases in Minnesota and New Jersey. No recall has yet been issued for the implicated product, so listeners are encouraged to stay updated on food safety alerts from the FDA.

    Another major health alert comes from the CDC, which now reports that nearly one in three American teenagers between ages 12 and 17 showed signs of prediabetes as of 2023. That translates to about 8.4 million adolescents at higher risk not only for type 2 diabetes but also for future heart disease and stroke. Health officials warn this trend is tied to rising teen obesity rates. They urge families to adopt healthier eating habits and to increase daily physical activity, stressing that early lifestyle changes can prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes.

    In the realm of vaccines and public health policy, there is increased concern and confusion following directives from federal leadership that removed COVID-19 vaccines from certain CDC immunization schedules. Major pediatric and medical organizations have spoken out, stating this change undermines public confidence and could jeopardize child and maternal health, especially if it leads to lower vaccine uptake during pregnancy or early childhood.

    Listeners are reminded to check with local health departments or the CDC’s official website for the most current recommendations, especially if living in or traveling to outbreak areas. Public health experts warn that vaccine-preventable illnesses can spread rapidly when immunization levels fall and recommend reviewing and updating vaccination status for all family members.

  • CDC Warns of Measles Spread and Updates Vaccination Guidelines Amid Summer Heat and Public Health Challenges

    CDC Warns of Measles Spread and Updates Vaccination Guidelines Amid Summer Heat and Public Health Challenges
    2025/07/09
    Listeners, as of July 9, 2025, public health alerts in the United States are focused on several urgent topics. Montgomery County, Maryland has issued an Extreme Heat Alert for Wednesday, July 9, from noon to 5 p.m., with the heat index expected to exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Officials urge everyone to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activities during peak heat, and check on vulnerable groups including older adults, young children, and those with underlying health conditions. Signs of heat-related illness such as muscle cramps, flushed skin, dizziness, or confusion require prompt attention. County facilities, libraries, and recreation centers are open as cooling centers, and public transportation riders can access free bottled water. Pet owners should not leave animals outdoors or in vehicles during the alert, as the Office of Animal Services is enforcing strict anti-cruelty regulations for pets in heat emergencies, according to the MoCo Show.

    Nationally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has made several important updates. The CDC now officially recommends the RSV vaccine for high-risk adults starting at age 50, in addition to all adults 75 and older and those aged 60 and above with qualifying health conditions. This expansion is intended to better protect those at risk for severe respiratory syncytial virus, which remains a serious threat to older adults and those with certain medical problems. While this update is detailed on the CDC’s website, it is not yet part of the main immunization schedule. The vaccine is also recommended during pregnancy to help shield newborns, as reported by HealthDay News and the Associated Press.

    On infectious disease surveillance, the CDC continues to report low overall respiratory illness levels, but warns of rising measles cases now spread across 38 states in 2025. Vaccination and timely diagnosis remain crucial, especially in communities with lower immunization rates.

    There has also been a major policy shift regarding COVID-19 vaccination for children and pregnant individuals. Updated CDC guidance now leaves vaccination decisions to shared clinical decision-making between families and healthcare providers, rather than blanket recommendations. Health officials continue to emphasize that COVID-19 poses significant risks, particularly for adults over 65 and infants under age one. While the new policy allows for more personalized choices, it has drawn criticism from medical societies who argue that removing broad recommendations may undermine public confidence and threaten public health infrastructure, as outlined by Spectrum News and AJMC.

    Concerning avian influenza H5N1, the CDC has ended its emergency response due to a significant decline in cases from February to July. However, the public health risk still warrants caution for those with direct exposure to sick or dead birds, raw milk, or contaminated farm environments. Health care providers should remain vigilant for symptoms of acute respiratory illness in such individuals and coordinate testing and treatment promptly. The CDC underscores that while risk to the general public remains low, continued monitoring and adherence to safety guidelines are advised, according to Denver7 and the CDC’s updated clinical guidance.

    The Food and Drug Administration has issued several product safety updates, including approvals for certain cancer therapies and new labeling for ADHD medications in young children. The FDA’s Pediatric Advisory Committee is meeting today, July 9, to discuss pediatric drug and device safety reviews, reflecting ongoing efforts to protect children’s health.

  • CDC Reports Low Respiratory Illness Levels with Rising Measles Cases Across 38 States in 2025 Public Health Update

    CDC Reports Low Respiratory Illness Levels with Rising Measles Cases Across 38 States in 2025 Public Health Update
    2025/07/08
    Listeners, as of July 8, 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that overall respiratory illness levels in the United States remain very low. Seasonal influenza activity is low, and both COVID-19 and RSV—respiratory syncytial virus—are also at very low activity. The CDC notes that national healthcare visits for acute respiratory illness are minimal, and laboratory surveillance supports this low trend.

    Novel influenza A virus infections, particularly H5 avian flu, have not shown evidence of human-to-human transmission in the United States so far this year. The CDC stresses that no new confirmed human cases of H5 avian influenza were detected this week, and there are no alerts of concern for widespread avian flu in people at this time.

    However, measles is an ongoing public health alert. The CDC confirms that as of July 1, there have been 1,267 confirmed measles cases across 38 states and cities, including Alaska, California, Florida, Texas, New York, and Virginia, among others. The agency reports 27 separate outbreaks so far this year, accounting for 88 percent of all cases. For comparison, there were just 16 outbreaks during all of last year. Tragically, there have been three confirmed deaths in 2025 due to measles. The CDC urges that measles is highly contagious, and vaccination is essential, especially for children and those traveling internationally. Many local health departments are issuing additional outbreak recommendations, particularly in states with ongoing outbreaks.

    Looking at virologic surveillance, the CDC’s FluView for the week ending June 21 shows only 1.2 percent of clinical respiratory specimens tested positive for influenza. Nationwide, most positive influenza cases are Influenza B, rather than Influenza A. For listeners following bird flu or highly pathogenic avian influenza, the most recent CDC summaries show no increase in risk for the general public, but interim recommendations for those exposed to sick or dead birds remain in place.

    COVID-19 activity in clinical and public health labs remains below one percent of tested cases, as reported by the CDC’s national respiratory virus activity dashboard. This trend means that emergency department visits and hospitalizations due to COVID-19 are at some of the lowest levels seen since the start of national tracking.

    For localized outbreaks and region-specific alerts, state health departments continue to publish outbreak information, especially for measles. Additionally, the California Department of Public Health issued a June advisory highlighting the need for vigilance with measles and for flu preparedness among healthcare professionals. The CDC has also previously issued broader national advisories about the importance of MMR vaccination and provided guidance for the summer travel season, given the rising number of measles cases globally and domestically.

    Both the CDC and local health agencies encourage listeners to stay up to date with routine vaccinations, monitor state and local advisories, and practice good hygiene to prevent illness. People with symptoms of any respiratory illness should take steps to protect themselves and others, such as wearing a mask and staying home when ill. For the latest vaccine information, listeners are encouraged to check vaccines dot gov.
