明尼苏达州处置两起麻疹聚集：9月中旬以来25例 全州今年累计42例
明尼苏达州卫生厅（Minnesota Department of Health，MDH）表示，该州正在处置两起互不相关的麻疹聚集疫情，分别发生在 Fillmore County 与 Todd County，自 9 月中旬以来共报告 25 例，其中 Fillmore County 6 例、Todd County 19 例，近期病例全部为未接种疫苗者。
卫生厅在 10 月 15 日的声明中说，明尼苏达州 2026 年以来麻疹确诊病例累计已达 42 例，而且病例数很可能还会继续增长。卫生厅指出，麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹联合疫苗（MMR）仍是预防麻疹的最强防线。
州长办公室简报同时指出，全美今年麻疹确诊病例已超过 4,000 例。州长 Tim Walz 呼吁居民接种流感疫苗与最新版新冠疫苗，并确保按时完成 MMR 疫苗接种。
麻疹传染性极强，可通过空气传播。明尼苏达州卫生厅建议，出现发烧、咳嗽、流鼻涕、眼睛发红及皮疹等症状者，先电话联系医疗机构再前往就诊，以减少传播风险。

Minnesota Responds to Two Measles Clusters: 25 Cases Since Mid-September and 42 This Year
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) said the state is responding to two unrelated measles clusters, in Fillmore County and Todd County, with 25 cases reported since mid-September — six in Fillmore County and 19 in Todd County. All of the recent cases were in people who had not been vaccinated.
In an October 15 statement, MDH said Minnesota's measles total for 2026 has reached 42 cases, and that the number will very likely continue to grow. The department said the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine remains the strongest protection against measles.
The governor's office briefing noted that more than 4,000 measles cases have been confirmed nationwide this year. Governor Tim Walz urged residents to get their flu shots and updated COVID-19 vaccinations, and to stay up to date on MMR vaccination.
Measles is highly contagious and spreads through the air. MDH advises people with symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and a rash to call a health care provider before going in, to reduce the risk of spreading the virus.
