概要

 Listeners, here's the latest on public health alerts across the United States as of today. The FDA advises restaurants and retailers in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Nevada, New York, Oregon, and Washington not to serve or sell, and consumers not to eat certain raw oysters from Drayton Harbor Oyster Company and Manila clams from Lummi Indian Business Council, harvested February 13 through March 3 from Drayton Harbor, Washington. These may be contaminated with norovirus, which causes diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, stomach pain, fever, headache, and body aches, typically starting 12 to 48 hours after exposure and lasting 1 to 3 days. The FDA reports this follows a norovirus-like illness outbreak linked to raw oyster consumption, with potential for severe dehydration especially in young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. Restaurants should dispose of products in the garbage or return to distributors, sanitize surfaces to prevent cross-contamination, and wash hands thoroughly. If you're sick, contact your healthcare provider and local health department.

The CDC is ramping up support for measles outbreaks, deploying Epidemic Intelligence Service experts to South Carolina and North Carolina to analyze data, provide lab testing, vaccines, and guidance. CDC reports the US measles total nears 1,300 cases this year, surpassing last year's 2,258, with outbreaks worsening in Utah, North Dakota at 23 cases, and Colorado's Broomfield at seven among unvaccinated children. Acting CDC Director Jay Bhattacharya stresses MMR vaccination as the top prevention tool, noting benefits far outweigh rare risks and high coverage protects vulnerable groups.

CDC also warns of 11 more pediatric flu deaths this week, totaling 90 this season, with 85 percent in unvaccinated children. For travelers, CDC issued a level 2 advisory for polio risks in 32 countries in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
