usatoday.com/story/news/health/2024/04/11/cdc-measles-cases-2020-2024/73280772007/
Quick Glance: CDC warns of looming measles outbreak in the US
- A report from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates a significant decline in measles immunization since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in a record high of almost 40 million children missing a vaccine dose last year.
- With the increase in cases that could jeopardize the virus's eliminated status in the U.S., the CDC is calling for measures to boost measles immunization.
- So far, 113 measles cases have been confirmed since 2020, compared to 58 cases detected last year. The majority of measles patients since 2020 have not been vaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status.
- Experts express concerns that the rise in measles cases in the U.S. may signal a troubling trend. The CDC emphasizes the need to increase routine MMR vaccination coverage to maintain elimination.

nbcnews.com/health/health-news/cdc-warns-increase-bacterial-illnesses-meningitis-rcna145613
Quick Glance: Rising Incidence of a Rare Bacterial Disease in the U.S.
- U.S. health officials are raising concerns about a rise in uncommon bacterial infections that can result in meningitis and potential fatalities.
- In the past year, the U.S. reported 422 cases - the highest number in a year since 2014. With 143 cases already reported this year, it seems likely that the infections will surpass those of 2023, according to the CDC.
- The bacteria have the capability to trigger a severe inflammation of the brain and spinal cord known as meningitis, manifesting symptoms like fever, headaches, stiff neck, nausea, and vomiting. While antibiotics can be used to treat the infection, prompt intervention is crucial. It is estimated that 10% to 15% of infected individuals succumb to the illness, and survivors may experience hearing loss or limb amputations.
- Preventive vaccines for meningococcal disease are available. Authorities suggest that all children should receive a meningococcal conjugate vaccine around the time they enter middle school to protect against the escalating strain. Additionally, individuals at a higher risk, such as those in outbreak zones or with specific health conditions, are advised to get vaccinated.
