Pennsylvania Confirms Two Measles Deaths While A Third Awaits Review
Confirmed cases in the outbreak have reached 693 across 38 counties since late April, with only four among the vaccinated.
- In its September 14, 2026 outbreak update, the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) confirmed two measles-associated deaths in the state.
- "DOH is actively conducting its own review of the case and will update the public when that investigation is complete."
- Statewide, 693 confirmed measles cases span 38 counties since late April, with 133 hospitalized.
Why it matters: Two deaths are confirmed; the third death is still under review, unproven either way.
