Summary created with AI assistance · Source: time.com
- The Pennsylvania Department of Health said on August 25 that the two people who died were unvaccinated and lived in Lancaster County; no further details were released.
- State health officials said the deaths were Pennsylvania’s first measles-associated fatalities in 35 years.
- More than 2,700 measles cases have been reported in the United States this year, the highest total since the disease was eliminated in 2000, and the past two years saw more cases than 2000 through 2024 combined.
- MMR vaccination coverage among U.S. kindergartners was 92.4% nationally in 2025–2026, about 93% in Pennsylvania and below 88% in Lancaster County, while coverage above 95% is considered ideal.
Together, there could be a possibility they're quite lethal, Trump said of the combined shot, which has been in use for more than 50 years and has a strong safety and efficacy record.— Trump said this about the combined MMR vaccine, in the context of his executive order to split the vaccine into three separate shots.
