Maine EMS continually tracks emerging infectious diseases. Among other events, Maine EMS and the MDPB are currently monitoring the 2024/2025/2026 measles outbreak occurring across the United States. This Clinical Bulletin is intended to alert EMS clinicians of the current outbreak, its status, and the common clinical presentation of measles.
PLEASE NOTE: On Feb 6, 2026, Maine CDC announced a single case of measles in Maine occurring in an adult in Penobscot County. At the time of this Clinical Bulletin, no additional cases have been reported; however, given the highly infectious nature of measles, the MDPB is reissuing this Clinical Bulletin to increase awareness and communication regarding potential measles cases.
