Story summary

New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a statewide disaster emergency on October 3, 2026, due to a significant measles outbreak with 108 confirmed cases this year, including seven in New York City and 101 elsewhere. Since July 15, 92 cases have been reported across 18 rural counties. To address the growing health crisis, Hochul expanded the pool of healthcare professionals allowed to administer measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccines, aiming to increase vaccination rates in under-immunized communities.

The declaration follows a resurgence of the disease since 2025 and comes amid a severe outbreak in neighboring Pennsylvania, which has reported over 977 cases and five deaths. The governor emphasized that no one should suffer from vaccine-preventable diseases, highlighting the importance of vaccinations in controlling the spread.

The emergency measures will remain in effect through November 4, allowing for more widespread vaccination efforts and testing capabilities to curb further outbreaks. This declaration underscores the critical need for increased public health initiatives amidst a national resurgence of measles cases across multiple states.
