Measles is one of the most contagious infectious diseases, and cases remain a concern in the U.S. and globally. In 2025, more than 2,200 confirmed cases were reported in the U.S., with 11% resulting in hospitalizations and three deaths being reported.

APIC recently urged strong, coordinated national action as measles outbreaks escalate, highlighting the strain on healthcare systems and the importance of prevention and preparedness. Read the full announcement here ➡️https://hubs.li/Q045TYlZ0

The playbook includes:
➡️ Epidemiology and transmission overview
➡️ Screening and testing guidance
➡️ Isolation and PPE recommendations
➡️ Exposure management resources
➡️ Patient education tools

Access the playbook and strengthen your facility’s response.
