DPH confirms new measles case, urges vaccination

The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) has confirmed measles in an unvaccinated Macon County resident, bringing Georgia's 2026 total to 22 cases, compared to 10 cases in all of 2025. The individual is isolating at home, and unvaccinated close contacts are quarantining. Although the individual has no known travel history, they had contact with a confirmed measles case from Pennsylvania, where an ongoing measles outbreak has surpassed 1,100 cases. DPH is working to identify others who may have been exposed. Measles is highly contagious and spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can remain in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves. The MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is the best protection against measles. "The MMR vaccine is safe and effective. Measles spreads quickly, and vaccination now can help prevent further spread," said Cherie Drenzek, DVM, MS, state epidemiologist. "One dose provides about 93% protection against measles, and two doses increase protection to about 97%." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends two doses of the MMR vaccine for children: the first at 12–15 months and the second at 4–6 years. Infants 6–11 months old traveling
