概要

 Listeners, as of March 21, 2026, the most pressing public health alert in the United States is a nationwide measles outbreak approaching 1,500 cases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 1,487 confirmed cases this year, with 125 new ones added recently, mostly in 31 states and New York City. South Carolina leads with 997 cases, primarily in Spartanburg County, followed by Utah at 443 and others like Texas, Florida, and Arizona. Ninety-two percent of cases involve unvaccinated or unknown status individuals, five percent required hospitalization, and no deaths reported this year. The CDC emphasizes vaccination with two MMR doses as the best prevention, warning the US may lose measles elimination status soon.

Flu season is winding down but remains elevated, with the CDC noting underutilization of antiviral treatments, especially for hospitalized children and high-risk groups. Recent data shows 14 more pediatric flu deaths, totaling 115 this season, alongside declining test positivity at 12.7 percent and fewer hospitalizations.

The California Department of Public Health warns against consuming raw cheddar cheese from Raw Farm LLC, linked to seven Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O157 cases across three states, including five in California—four in children under five, with two hospitalizations.

The HHS Office of Inspector General reports nursing homes' inappropriate antipsychotic drug use poses risks to residents, urging better oversight and dementia care policies.

A federal judge has blocked HHS changes to vaccine schedules, pausing reductions in recommended childhood and adult immunizations without proper consultation.

Stay vigilant, get vaccinated, and consult healthcare providers for personalized advice.
