AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Measles Alert (Lancaster County): Pennsylvania confirmed two measles-related deaths—both unvaccinated—marking the first U.S. measles fatalities in 2026 and the first in the state in 35 years, as cases climb statewide and health officials push MMR catch-up, including pop-up clinics and early-dose guidance for infants in higher-risk situations. Public Health & Vaccination Debate: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly questioned Pennsylvania’s cooperation with the CDC, while Gov. Josh Shapiro warned that vaccine skepticism is fueling outbreaks. Big Tech Child-Safety (Meta): PA Attorney General Dave Sunday announced a landmark multistate Meta settlement expected to bring at least $516M to Pennsylvania, with new limits and safeguards for teens on Facebook and Instagram. West Nile (Butler Township): A mosquito sample in Butler Township tested positive for West Nile virus; officials urged residents to use repellent and reduce standing water. Wildlife Health (Rabies): Cheltenham Township reported a rabid coyote put down by police and advised residents to seek care if exposed. School Wellness (Safety Grants): Pennsylvania school safety and mental health grants were announced for multiple districts, supporting security upgrades and behavioral health services. Community Support (Overdose Awareness): Delaware Valley events marked International Overdose Awareness Day with vigils and local resources.
