宾夕法尼亚州向CDC请求紧急援助应对麻疹疫情

宾夕法尼亚州正面临美国30多年来最严重的麻疹疫情反弹1。该州已确认731例麻疹病例，涉及38个县1，并已报告4例麻疹相关死亡1。为应对疫情扩散，州政府向美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)申请了紧急援助1。

州卫生部门秘书德布拉·博根在周三致函给CDC主任埃里卡·施瓦茨，要求CDC公开确认死亡病例1。这一举动反映出州政府与特朗普政府卫生部长肯尼迪之间对疫情数据统计的持续争议。肯尼迪质疑死亡是否由麻疹病毒引起，曾指示CDC不将宾州确诊死亡纳入全国麻疹死亡统计1。特朗普政府本月改变了麻疹死亡的统计方式，现在使用国家卫生统计中心(NCHS)的数据1。州长沙皮罗则批评肯尼迪的言论"没有连接或根据现实"2。

Pennsylvania has requested emergency aid from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a measles outbreak continues to spread across the state.1 The state has confirmed 731 measles cases affecting 38 counties as of early 2025, with at least four deaths attributed to measles-related illness.1

The outbreak has become entangled in a dispute over death reporting and vaccine policy. Pennsylvania's Secretary of Health Debra Bogan sent a letter to CDC Director Erica Schwartz on Wednesday demanding that the agency publicly confirm the four measles deaths.1 This demand follows concerns that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has questioned whether the deaths were caused by the measles virus itself and reportedly instructed the CDC not to include Pennsylvania's confirmed deaths in national measles mortality statistics.1 The Trump administration changed its approach to counting measles deaths this month, shifting to data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).1 Governor Josh Shapiro has criticized Kennedy's statements on measles prevention.23 This outbreak represents the most severe measles resurgence in the United States in more than 30 years.1
