  3. Another Pennsylvania #measles death, this time in an unvaccinated 40 year old woman.

    3 deaths with less than 700 confirmed cases suggests this outbreak is much larger than reported (no surprise).

  11. @realTuckFrumper TLDR; if you got the measles vaccine before 1990, you only got one dose. It’s a good idea to either get your titer checked (blood test) or get another MMR dose. Many people find it easier and cheaper to just get another dose.

    “Johns Hopkins University’s measles tracking dashboard on Thursday surpassed 2025’s total, reaching 2,295 cases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has not yet updated its own tally.

    “This is the highest number of cases recorded since 1990, when nearly 28,000 measles cases were recorded. Following that year, measles infections dramatically fell and remained low as vaccinations were pushed and a two-dose schedule was introduced.”

    “As a parent who has a daughter with one shot, considered unvaccinated, and an almost 1-year-old son with no shots, the amount of risk you are putting on me, that is not my choice,” Engel said.
