Dr. Rita Nguyen, assistant state public health officer, emphasized MMR vaccine safety and urged Californians to verify vaccination status. There have been 2,318 measles cases reported nationwide this year, the highest since 1989–1991, with 34 new outbreaks reported so far in 2026.
“The measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is safe and provides long-lasting protection against measles. Vaccination protects both our own families and those who are too young to be fully vaccinated.”
