Headline: UNCAPTIONED: New York Declares Measles Disaster Emergency as Cases Rise
Caption: New York Declares Measles Disaster Emergency as Cases Rise. New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a statewide disaster emergency Monday as measles cases continued rising. The order marks the first such US state declaration since measles cases began surging in 2025. New York has reported 108 cases this year, including 92 since July 15 in rural communities. Seven cases were recorded in New York City, while 101 occurred elsewhere across the state overall. Neighboring Pennsylvania has reported more than 1,000 cases, its largest outbreak in over three decades statewide. The United States is experiencing its worst measles year since 1991, with nearly 3,900 cases reported. New York expanded vaccine access, allowing pharmacists to vaccinate children as young as two years old. The emergency remains in effect through November 4, while vaccination still requires patient or guardian consent. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
