New York Governor Kathy Hochul has declared a state of disaster emergency in response to a sharp increase in measles cases across the state 2. This declaration marks the first such emergency declaration for measles in the United States since 2025 began 1. The emergency order expands eligibility for measles vaccination and permits additional individuals to undergo testing 2. New York has confirmed 108 measles cases this year, a dramatic rise compared to just 1 case in 2023 and 15 cases in 2024 2.

The outbreak has concentrated in rural communities with insufficient immunization rates, with 92 cases reported in immunologically vulnerable areas of upstate New York since July 15 2. The situation extends beyond state borders, as Pennsylvania has reported 198 hospitalizations and 5 deaths from measles 2. Nationally, 2025 has emerged as the most severe measles year in the United States since 1991, with nearly 3,900 cases reported across the country 2. New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, which have substantial Amish populations with lower vaccination coverage, have been particularly affected 2. Public health officials emphasize that measles prevention requires at least 95 percent community vaccination coverage 2. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has criticized Health Secretary Robert Kennedy as "incompetent" in response to the crisis 2.
