Orange County health officials said that CDC data shows 588 confirmed measles cases reported nationwide this year as of January 30th, 2026. Officials said people exposed may develop symptoms between seven and 21 days after exposure, and urged residents to confirm their vaccination status.
Dr. Anissa Davis, Orange County’s deputy health officer, said, “Measles doesn’t only affect people who travel internationally — everyone is at risk if they’re not protected. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is to get vaccinated before exposure occurs.”
