ATLANTA – The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) has confirmed measles in an unvaccinated resident of Fulton County. There is no known international travel associated with this case. The individual is out of the infectious stage of the disease, but may have exposed others between September 2 and 11, 2025.
ATLANTA – The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) is awaiting CDC/ACIP recommendations and clinical guidance for administering the updated 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccine. This has been DPH’s protocol since the first COVID-19 vaccines became available in late 2020. Health departments do not have the updated vaccine in stock, and the CDC is urging providers to discontinue use of the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine and destroy any unused product to minimize the risk of vaccination errors.
