Measles Resurgence in Pennsylvania | Pittsburgh News

Measles is roaring back in Pennsylvania, with over 230 cases this year—mostly in Lancaster, but now creeping toward Pittsburgh. Experts warn Allegheny County is next, and the real number of infections is likely much higher. The U.S. is dangerously close to losing its measles-free status, thanks to falling vaccination rates below the 95% threshold needed to stop outbreaks. Schools like Penn Hills Elementary (67.7% vaccinated) and Pittsburgh Concord (74.7%) are dangerously under-vaccinated. Health officials are urging parents to act now: vaccinate your kids between 12 and 15 months to stop this preventable disease in its tracks.
