As of January 21, 2026, Washington state has six confirmed measles cases in Snohomish County and Kittitas County, with linkages to travelers from South Carolina where there are more than 700 reported measles cases. As measles surges nationally, DOH urges vaccination and has released new interim pediatric measles outbreak vaccination recommendations. Please remain alert for potential measles cases or measles-like symptoms, especially among people who visited public exposure locations listed on the Washington State Measles Public Exposure Location Tracker.
If measles is suspected, immediately contact DOH’s Communicable Disease Epi Vaccine Preventable Disease team or call 206-418-5500 any time, 24/7, to request prompt diagnostic testing at Washington’s Public Health Lab.
