Harrisburg, Pa. — An unvaccinated Jefferson County resident has died after testing positive for measles, the Pennsylvania Department of Health announced today. It is the state’s sixth confirmed measles-associated death this year. As of Nov. 4, Pennsylvania has recorded 1,467 confirmed measles cases across 45 counties, with 283 hospitalizations. Of those cases, fewer than 1% (five people) were vaccinated. The deaths involve two residents of Jefferson County, three of Lancaster County, and one of Mifflin County. The department is not releasing further identifying details to protect the family’s privacy.
