Measles deaths in Pennsylvania
Two residents of Pennsylvania have died from measles, marking the first deaths in the state in 35 years. This occurs amid a concerning rise in cases, which have reached 393 since the beginning of 2026 across 28 counties. Both individuals had not been vaccinated. Measles cases in the United States have increased to 2,777 as of August 20, the highest annual rate since the late 1980s, with over 55,000 cases and 123 deaths reported that year. Reports indicate that a lack of awareness about the severity of the disease and the absence of vaccination protection have contributed to the worsening situation. The resurgence of measles is attributed to declining vaccination rates after the disease was largely eradicated in the state for more than three decades.
