Episode Details

Delaware’s health officials have declared a measles outbreak after confirming four unvaccinated cases in Kent County — the state’s first in over a decade. With symptoms like fever, cough, and rash, measles is highly contagious and can take weeks to show signs. Officials are tracing contacts and urging exposed individuals to call the Office of Infectious Disease Epidemiology. Nationally, measles cases are surging, driven largely by vaccine skepticism, with over 90% of cases linked to unvaccinated people. In response, Delaware created its Office of the Surgeon General and partnered with neighboring states to reinforce science-based vaccination efforts and disease monitoring.
