The Pennsylvania Department of Health said on the 25th it recorded two
measles-related deaths — the first measles deaths in the U.S. in 2026 and
Pennsylvania's first in 35 years. Both decedents were unvaccinated. Health
Secretary Debra Bogen said 28 counties have reported 393 confirmed measles cases
in the state this year, about half in Lancaster County; roughly 20% of confirmed
patients required hospitalization.
