The Pennsylvania Department of Health has provided an update on measles cases in Pennsylvania including a possible sixth death.
The DOH reports on Friday that 38 new measles cases have been confirmed.
In total, over 1,200 people have been infected, 238 people have been hospitalized, 43 counties have at least one reported case, five people have had a measles-associated death, and four vaccinated people have been infected, but that makes up less than one percent of cases.
An investigation into a possible 6th measles associated death in Franklin County has also gotten underway.
Health officials advise everyone over the age six to be fully vaccinated with both doses to drastically reduce chances of hospitalization. More information can be found online through the state website’s Measles Dashboard.
