The Georgia Department of Public Health has confirmed the state’s first measles case of 2026 in an infant from the Coastal Health District.

 

The baby, too young for routine vaccination, contracted measles while traveling overseas. Health officials are now tracing potential contacts throughout the district, which includes Chatham, Effingham, and Glynn counties.

 

Measles spreads easily through the air and can linger on surfaces for up to two hours after an infected person leaves, raising risks for widespread exposure.

 

Typical symptoms begin about a week after exposure and include high fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes, and a distinctive red rash.

 

Georgia saw a rise in measles cases last year, reflecting the national surge. Health experts stress that the best defense is the MMR vaccine, urging residents to check vaccination status and consult healthcare providers promptly if symptoms occur.
