## Executive GIST (TL;DR)
- Pennsylvania reported a fourth measles-associated death: an unvaccinated 18-year-old from Mifflin County who died of **acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)**, a rare severe neurological complication of measles. - Earlier recent deaths included a 40-year-old woman from Jefferson County and two infants in Lancaster County; the infants were too young for vaccination. Officials reported none of the four decedents were vaccinated. - The state outbreak has produced nearly **700 confirmed or reported measles illnesses** this year across 38 counties, including about 100 cases in the preceding seven days. - These are Pennsylvania’s first measles-associated deaths in 35 years and occur amid the U.S.’s worst year for measles since 1991. - Nationwide, there have been seven reported measles-associated deaths in the last two years, exceeding the combined total of the previous three decades, per the report. - Declines in vaccination coverage below the 95% threshold needed to prevent outbreaks have been cited; contributing factors noted in the source include parental waivers, access issues, disinformation, and recent federal-level vaccine skepticism and funding cuts. - Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Debra Bogen emphasized providing facts about measles and ensuring access to the **MMR vaccine** to stem the outbreak and prevent further deaths. - International health officials will meet in November to discuss whether the U.S. and Mexico have lost measles-free status; the report notes ongoing concerns about rising measles infections globally and domestically. - The source is an Associated Press report republished by STAT News; no additional clinical or investigational details beyond those reported were provided.

The latest death involved an 18-year-old resident of Mifflin County, in the center of the state, the county coroner’s office said in a Facebook post. The cause was acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, a rare and severe neurological complication of measles, it said.

And last month, [two measles-infected infants](https://www.statnews.com/2026/09/09/coroner-details-infant-deaths-pennsylvania-measles-outbreak/) died in Lancaster County, in the southeastern part of the state. None of the four were vaccinated, according to the state health department. The infants were too young for vaccinations, according to current recommendations. The U.S. is enduring its worst year for measles since 1991 and has seen seven reported measles-associated deaths in the last two years — more than the combined total of reported deaths over the previous three decades.

The measles-associated deaths are the first reported in the state in 35 years, state officials say. “My thoughts are with the two families who lost loved ones to this highly contagious virus, as Pennsylvania faces the worst measles outbreak in more than three decades,” the state’s health secretary, Dr. Debra Bogen, said in a statement Tuesday, referring to the two most recent deaths — those of the adults. “We remain committed to working with our partners across Pennsylvania to stem this outbreak and prevent more deaths. That means ensuring people have the facts about measles and access to the MMR vaccine, which kept measles outbreaks at bay for decades.” The nation eliminated the domestic spread of measles in 2000 by maintaining high vaccination rates, but they have fallen in recent years to [below the 95% coverage](https://apnews.com/article/measles-vaccines-mmr-babies-south-carolina-outbreak-85b2ab8ec8baec808f258987b13af9dc) needed to prevent outbreaks.
