Measles Preparedness Resources & Georgia DPH Update

Kids Health First recently shared important measles preparedness recommendations and operational guidance for pediatric practices following updates from the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH).

Additionally, on May 19, 2026, the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) confirmed measles in three members of a metro Atlanta family. All three individuals were unvaccinated and had recent international travel exposure. These cases bring Georgia’s total confirmed measles cases in 2026 to five.

Practices are encouraged to remain vigilant and review current workflows related to respiratory illness triage, patient isolation, staff education and measles preparedness planning.
