健康 · Measles responsePennsylvania Measles Cases Hit 1,260 as CDC Plans Investigative Help文字 2026年10月18日 上午12:04 [UTC]觀看逐字稿0:07On October 1st, we reported Pennsylvania's fifth measles-associated death.0:12Now state officials are investigating a sixth possible death.0:15The outbreak reaches 43 counties, and Pennsylvania had already reported more than0:20200 hospitalizations by early October.0:23When will promised federal investigative help begin?0:26And can officials resolve the conflicting death counts?0:28Lancaster County has appeared to be the outbreak's center.0:31Franklin County is where officials are investigating the latest possible0:35measles-associated death.0:36Neighboring New York has declared a statewide emergency to expand vaccination and0:40testing capacity.0:42Pennsylvania recorded 1,260 cases across 43 counties in its October 16th0:48update.0:48That's 38 more cases and one more county than two days earlier when the state listed0:531,222 cases in 42 counties.0:57Nationally confirmed cases reached 4,410 through October 15th.1:02The previous weekly total was 4,008 E.1:04That's another 330 cases.1:06an increase of about 8% in a week, with more than two months left in the year, the1:11national hospitalization tally stands at a reported 451 for the year.1:15These are cumulative hospitalizations rather than admissions on a single day.1:19The CDC identifies 47 reporting jurisdictions, a category that includes more than1:24states alone.1:25Pennsylvania counted 943 cases on September 30 and 1,004 on October 5.1:31The total reached 1,078 on October 8th, then 1,136 through October1:379th.1:37It rose to 1,222 on October 14th and 1,260 on October 16th.1:43The CDC announced additional assistance on October 13th after Pennsylvania formally1:48requested help through EPIAID, its Emergency Outbreak Assistance Program.1:52The proposal includes one scientist, often called a disease detective, to help1:56investigate how the outbreak is spreading.1:58Pennsylvania's request was followed by a plan to send the investigator later that2:02week.2:03But on October 15th, the State Health Department said it hadn't made a final2:07decision on accepting the assistance.2:09Deployment arrangements were still unsettled.2:11Federal officials have also reportedly pledged nearly $4 million.2:15Whether any of that money has been paid to Pennsylvania isn't clear.2:18The pledge comes alongside the proposed investigative assistance.2:21Six people diagnosed with measles have died since August.2:24State officials distinguish five measles-associated deaths from a sixth possible2:28death they're investigating.2:30Counting everyone who died after a diagnosis leaves the sixth person's cause of2:34death unresolved.2:35The latest investigation concerns a 39-year-old unvaccinated woman who had2:39underlying health conditions.2:41Franklin County's coroner described the primary cause as a probable acute cardiac2:45event due to possible complications of measles.2:47The cardiac event was described as probable, and measles complications as possible.2:51Pennsylvania's health department opened an investigation and was still investigating2:55in its October 14th notice.2:57The woman is a different person from the 40-year-old unvaccinated woman whose death3:01was Pennsylvania's third reported death in September.3:04The fifth death involved an unvaccinated Lancaster County resident who tested3:09positive for measles.3:10Two infants too young for vaccination were among the five deaths reported in early3:14October.3:15The newer investigation hasn't supplied a final cause of death finding.3:18Governor Josh Shapiro and Federal Health Secretary Robert F.3:22Kennedy Jr.3:22have disputed the response and death counting.3:25A federal count cited on October 13th listed two deaths nationwide, without naming3:30the states.3:31That older figures still hasn't been reconciled with Pennsylvania's tally.3:34Penn State health physician Evan Shirey described severe brain and respiratory3:38illness among children he'd treated.3:40He blamed measles return on failure to vaccinate.3:43Pennsylvania officials described most hospitalized patients as unvaccinated.3:47Nationally, most cases have involved people who were unvaccinated or whose3:51vaccination status was unknown.3:53Those groups need to stay separate.3:54Someone with an unknown vaccination history may have received doses that haven't3:58been documented.3:59Pennsylvania has held pop-up vaccination clinics with nearly 9,000 response doses4:04administered by October 13th.4:05Health officials said the outbreak was largely affecting Amish communities with low4:09vaccination levels.4:10Cases extend beyond any single community.4:13South Carolina's earlier outbreak reached nearly 1,000 cases.4:17More than 15,000 MMR doses were administered in the affected area, and officials4:21described bringing that outbreak under control in about four months.4:25Those figures don't set a timetable for Pennsylvania.4:27Governor Kathy Hochl's emergency order expands New York's vaccination workforce.4:32It includes paramedics, advanced emergency medical services providers, midwives, and4:37pharmacists.4:38The order also gives nurses greater flexibility to order testing, widening the4:42state's capacity to find infections.4:44The statewide authority runs from October 5th through November 4th.4:48New York also announced plans to seek federal assistance, including help from the4:51CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services.4:55Pennsylvania had already made its formal APAID request.4:58New York counted 108 cases through October 3, including 101 outside New York City.5:04Health Commissioner James McDonald cited 124 in an interview aired October 6th.5:09He said two-thirds of the cases involved adults.5:12October 13 reporting put New York at 126 cases, but didn't give an exact cutoff.5:17That leaves the state's current total unclear.5:19The emergency targets access to vaccination and testing, including in underimmunized5:24rural communities.5:25Kindergarten MMR coverage fell from 95.2% before the pandemic to a cited5:3092.4%, down 2.8 percentage points.5:33The community protection benchmark is about 95 percent.5:37A national average can hide much lower coverage in individual communities.5:40About 280,000 kindergartners attended school in the preceding year without5:45documentation that they'd completed MMR vaccination.5:48That leaves uncertainty about completion, including among children who may already5:52have received one dose.5:53Two MMR doses are about 97% effective against measles.5:57Routine doses are given around ages 1 and 5.6:00During outbreaks, some babies as young as 6 months can receive an early dose6:04followed by both routine doses.6:06Measles spreads through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs, or6:10sneezes.6:11Contaminated air can remain infectious for up to two hours.6:14Symptoms commonly appear 7 to 14 days after exposure and can take as long as 216:19days.6:20The United States eliminated measles in 2000, but outbreaks can still occur when the6:24virus reaches susceptible people.6:26The delay between exposure and symptoms gives infections time to spread before6:29people recognize that they're ill.6:31Federal investigative assistance is promised while Pennsylvania's case count6:34continues climbing.6:35Officials still haven't confirmed when the investigator starts work or explained how6:39the state and federal death counts fit together.閱讀文章事件時間軸HeyDex短片 ↗誰報導了什麼多家媒體報導的要點✓Measles case total in Pennsylvania已獨立證實 · 6 家媒體✓New York measles disaster emergency已獨立證實 · 6 家媒體✓Measles-related deaths in
