Measles cases are on the rise in the United States and across the world. The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) has shared this resource of preparedness and outbreak response tools and communication materials. While the toolkit is aimed at public health, aging services providers may find the information helpful for communicating with staff and the older adults they serve.

CDC’s Project Firstline will deliver a webinar on May 15 aimed at preparing for and responding to a measles outbreak in a healthcare setting. This statement from the Post Acute and Long-Term Care Medical Association (PALTmed) provides information about measles outbreaks and protecting the long-term care community.

Stay up to date on measles cases and outbreaks with this CDC page that updates every Friday.
