概要

 Listeners, as of today, the United States is grappling with significant public health challenges, primarily a widespread measles outbreak. According to Mercopress, the US, along with Canada and Mexico, faces measles resurgences just months before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with health authorities urging stronger vaccination and surveillance amid fraying public trust in vaccines. In South Carolina, the state health department reports 950 cases as of February 13, mostly among unvaccinated individuals in the northwest region, where school vaccination rates fall below the 95% threshold needed to prevent spread. Nexstar News notes over 900 confirmed measles cases across nearly half of US states this year, per Centers for Disease Control data.

The Pan American Health Organization has issued a regional epidemiological alert calling for immediate coordinated action on surveillance and vaccination. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emphasizes that vaccines work, are safe, and save lives, countering misunderstandings fueling these outbreaks.

On respiratory viruses, the Vaccine Integrity Project and American Medical Association announced a review for the 2026-27 season focusing on influenza, COVID-19, and RSV vaccines, aiming for evidence-based guidance after CDC policy shifts. CDC estimates show flu vaccines prevented millions of illnesses last season, yet hundreds of unvaccinated children died.

Locally, the City of Danville, Virginia, advises all water customers to boil tap water or use bottled for drinking and cooking until further notice, due to a water issue reported today.

No active national alerts for Zika or other major threats appear current, though past CDC guidelines highlighted sexual transmission risks.

Listeners, stay vigilant: ensure vaccinations are up to date, follow local boil water orders, and consult healthcare providers for personalized advice amid ongoing leadership changes at HHS and CDC.
