The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Health Alert Network remains the primary system for distributing urgent public health alerts to public information officers, clinicians, and public health laboratories across the United States. These messages include Health Alerts for the most critical incidents, Health Advisories for important information, and Health Updates as situations evolve. Most state-based Health Alert Network programs cover more than 90 percent of their populations, ensuring that vital health information reaches millions efficiently, according to the CDC.

Currently, the United States is facing sustained public health challenges involving infectious disease activity. The CDC has issued an ongoing Health Alert about the risk of dengue virus infections. Dengue activity remains high, with record outbreaks in parts of the Americas and active transmission in U.S. territories like Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Individuals are urged to use preventive measures, especially with increased summer travel, and healthcare professionals are advised to rely on specific diagnostic testing for suspected dengue cases. The CDC has released new guidance and resources for public health professionals, including updated recommendations for responding to dengue, to help address both travel-associated and locally acquired cases, as reported in the official CDC Health Update from March 2025.

Measles cases are rising nationally as well, with ongoing outbreaks in at least 35 jurisdictions and almost 1,200 confirmed cases reported so far this year. According to the American Medical Association, significant numbers of measles cases continue to be reported in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, California, Colorado, Michigan, Montana, and Arizona, many linked to international travel. The CDC advises that all children and travelers should be current on their measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccinations, emphasizing the contagiousness of measles and the risk posed by pockets of low vaccination coverage. High national immunity levels keep the risk of widespread transmission low, but under-vaccinated communities remain vulnerable.

The CDC also reports increases in global and domestic cases of measles and provides prevention guidance for mpox and other emerging infectious diseases. While there have been international outbreaks such as Marburg virus in Rwanda, no related cases have been identified in the U.S., though clinicians remain on alert for potential importation.

CDC Travel Health Notices continue to monitor global health risks that could impact U.S. travelers. As of now, there are no Level 4 or Level 3 travel advisories for U.S. travelers, but enhanced precautions are recommended for areas with active outbreaks of mpox, chikungunya, Ebola, Oropouche virus, and polio in specific regions. The CDC emphasizes verifying vaccination and taking preventive steps before international travel, especially to affected regions.

Listeners are encouraged to stay updated through official sources like the CDC Health Alert Network, local public health departments, and trusted news outlets for real-time information on evolving public health alerts and recommended protective actions.
