New York State Department of Health Issues Health Advisory and Accelerates Outreach As Measles Cases Increase in U.S. and Canada
Department Releases PSA Calling on All New Yorkers to Get Children Vaccinated
ALBANY, N.Y. – The New York State Department of Health issued a Health Advisory as measles cases and hospitalizations increase in parts of the United States, including Texas and New Mexico, and Canada. And an unvaccinated school-aged child in Texas died from measles, the first reported U.S. death from measles since 2015. As part of a broader campaign to reach low-vaccination areas, the Department also released a public service announcement reminding New Yorkers to vaccinate their children to protect them from measles.
