CDC Deploys Expert to Assist Pennsylvania Measles Outbreak Response

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will send a "disease detective" from its Epi-Aid program to Pennsylvania to help manage a measles outbreak that has affected over 1,200 people. This deployment follows weeks of discussions between state and federal health officials. The CDC also allocated nearly $4 million in funding to support the state's measles response efforts through most of 2027.
