California health officials urge vaccinations amid new measles cases

Amid an increase in measles cases across the state, the California Department of Public Health has urged Californians to vaccinate against the disease. The state agency said that six cases were recently reported in Placer and Sacramento counties, and accounted for the third outbreak of measles in California in 2026, according to a March 5 news release. In late February, a case of measles was reported in an unvaccinated Sacramento County toddler who had recently come back to the county from a South Carolina area with an ongoing measles outbreak, officials said. Three Placer County siblings were later found to have measles and had been in contact with the toddler. On March 4, another case was reported in a child from the same Sacramento County community as the infected toddler. The state health agency warned that the child attended a program where as many as 130 children could have been exposed. Placer County reported a sixth case on March 5 in a different household from the same community as the infected siblings. The cases have caused the department to urge Californians, and especially residents of Sacramento and Placer counties, to make sure they are fully vaccinated against measles, health officials

Sacramento Seniors Sleepwalk Past Medicare Drug Windfall

Most Sacramento Medicare enrollees are on track to miss serious new savings in 2026, even as federal rule changes cut drug prices, cap annual pharmacy bills and let people spread big costs across the year. The overhaul includes the first batch of Medicare-negotiated prices for certain high-cost drugs, a $2,100 yearly Part D out-of-pocket ceiling, and a temporary pathway to cheaper GLP-1 access for some patients. For many, that can mean hundreds or even thousands of dollars back each year, but only if they check formularies, compare plans and pick pharmacies strategically. Here is what is changing and how Sacramento residents can actually capture the savings instead of leaving them on the table.
