PHCC New Messaging: Measles Outbreaks

The most recent 2024 data from the CDC show the U.S. has reported a total of 35 measles cases across 15 states. The Public Health Communications Collaborative (PHCC) offers new messaging on the ongoing measles outbreaks to inform your community members and share actionable messages they can take to protect themselves and their loved ones from this highly contagious and potentially fatal disease.  

Although the measles outbreaks have many impacts on public health and safety, this messaging guide is designed to communicate the most relevant information to the general public. PHCC recommends adapting messaging for your local context. Find the topline messages from the PHCC here.
