Partera solicita autoridad para aplicar MMR durante brote de sarampión en Pensilvania

Salud

El 18 de septiembre, una partera tradicional que atiende a familias Amish en el condado de Lancaster solicitó a las autoridades estatales permiso para administrar la vacuna triple viral (MMR), mientras Pensilvania enfrentaba su mayor brote de sarampión en décadas. El brote, que se detectó por primera vez el 11 de septiembre, había alcanzado 731 casos confirmados y cuatro muertes entre personas no vacunadas, con 141 hospitalizaciones, según el Departamento de Salud de Pensilvania. Los funcionarios advirtieron sobre el riesgo de transmisión durante el año escolar y pidieron una campaña de educación pública; los CDC instaron a ampliar la divulgación.

Anteriormente se identificaron cuatro casos en personas totalmente vacunadas, y el total estatal llegó a 676 casos en 37 condados. El Departamento de Salud Pública de Filadelfia también alertó sobre una posible exposición en el Hospital Infantil de Filadelfia el 11 de septiembre. En respuesta, farmacias en Lancaster comenzaron a ofrecer vacunaciones sin cita y los hospitales intensificaron el cribado y la vacunación.
