 Listeners, as of today, the United States faces several key public health alerts centered on rising infectious disease cases amid winter conditions. ProMED reports increased influenza cases in New York, particularly H3N2 among children in Buffalo, signaling a seasonal uptick. Meanwhile, measles surges dramatically with nearly 2,000 confirmed cases across more than 40 states this year, the worst in over three decades, including ongoing hot spots in South Carolina, Arizona, and Utah, as noted by Xtalks and STAT News. The New Jersey Health Department alerts residents to a potential measles exposure at Newark Liberty International Airport on December 19, linked to an infected traveler passing through multiple terminals.

The CDC warns of low but monitored risk from highly pathogenic avian influenza, following Washington's first human H5N5 case in November, which resulted in a fatality, according to King County Public Health. Symptoms mimic seasonal flu, but human-to-human transmission remains undocumented here. ProMED also highlights theileriosis alerts in Kansas cattle, though human risk is minimal.

Vaccination gaps fuel concerns: the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recently shifted hepatitis B guidance, weakening the universal newborn dose recommendation, a move criticized by the American Medical Association as reckless amid falling DTaP rates and tetanus increases tied to lower immunization and climate factors, per AMA and ProMED. Measles elimination status is at risk, with three deaths this year.

Travelers, CDC urges updated vaccines, handwashing, and mosquito precautions for global risks like chikungunya in China and Bolivia, and polio in Europe and Africa. Today marks International Day of Epidemic Preparedness, emphasizing resilient systems, as per UN Secretary-General's message.

Stay vigilant: get vaccinated, monitor symptoms like fever or rash, and consult physicians on personalized risks, especially with holiday gatherings boosting respiratory viruses.
