Measles surges near NJ. Doctors urge families to check vaccines

With measles cases rising sharply in New York , Pennsylvania and across the country, New Jersey health experts are urging residents to make sure they and their children are protected against one of the world’s most contagious diseases.

New York has reported 108 cases this year, including 92 since July, with most occurring in underimmunized communities across 18 counties. The emergency order expands the number of health care professionals who can administer the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. Neighboring Pennsylvania is also struggling with a major outbreak . State health officials say more than 1,000 cases and five deaths have been reported this year, Hackensack Meridian Health said.

Why the measles outbreaks matter for New Jersey Hackensack Meridian Health did not identify a current measles outbreak in New Jersey, but physicians said the state’s proximity to affected areas underscores the importance of vaccination and preparation. The health system said it remains in daily contact with the New Jersey Department of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

York County tax preparer sentenced for defrauding COVID loan program

A tax preparer from York City faces a year-and-a-half in federal prison for defrauding a COVID-era safety-net program. Dommonick Chatman, 50, was sentenced to 18 months of prison time and three years of probation Sept. 23 at the U.S. district court in Harrisburg, federal prosecutors said. Federal Judge Malachy Mannion also ordered Chatman to pay $341,439, the approximate amount of money that prosecutors say the government disbursed to fraudulent applications he filed through the Paycheck Protection Program. Chatman was indicted on multiple charges in March 2025 and then pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud last December. Federal prosecutors alleged that Chatman’s company, The Chatman Group, prepared and filed loan applications for nearly 20 people in March and April 2021 through the PPP.
