Listeners in the United States should be aware that as of October 11, 2025, there are several important public health alerts and advisories affecting the nation.
In New Jersey, Acting Governor Tahesha Way has declared a statewide State of Emergency ahead of a dangerous nor’easter storm expected to bring major coastal flooding, high winds up to 60 miles per hour, and potentially hazardous conditions. All residents of New Jersey are advised to follow emergency protocols, avoid unnecessary travel, monitor local weather updates, and prepare for possible evacuation if living near the coast according to the official statement from the Governor’s office.
Measles outbreaks are currently causing significant concern across America, especially among unvaccinated children. Firstpost reports that over 100 unvaccinated children have been quarantined due to multiple outbreaks. Health officials urge parents to ensure vaccinations are up-to-date, as measles can spread rapidly in communities with low immunization rates.
In Chicago, health authorities have issued an alert due to increased cases of mpox, previously known as monkeypox, with a notable uptick reported by surveillance updates on ProMED. Residents in Illinois, particularly in the Chicago area, are encouraged to seek medical advice if they develop new rashes or flu-like symptoms and to follow public health guidelines to limit further spread.
Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its recommendations regarding COVID-19 booster vaccines. Under the current guidance announced in September, universal vaccination is no longer recommended for healthy individuals under age 65. Instead, the CDC advises people to consult with healthcare providers about the risks and benefits to make an informed decision. Seniors 65 and older and those with underlying health conditions remain eligible for booster shots, and most Americans can still receive the COVID-19 vaccine at no cost, but may encounter additional discussions about eligibility depending on their situation, as reported by Money.com. Updated flu vaccines are also encouraged this season, with local and state health departments reminding the public about the benefits of vaccination, especially for those at higher risk of severe illness.
There have also been several deaths in Los Angeles linked to a synthetic kratom compound, specifically 7-Hydroxymitragynine or 7-OH. The Los Angeles County Health Department is urging caution with unregulated herbal products and advises anyone experiencing unusual symptoms after using such substances to seek medical attention promptly.
Nationally, a significant government shutdown is impacting federal health agencies, including layoffs affecting the Department of Health and Human Services. This situation may lead to delays in disease monitoring, health research, and public resource updates, according to Arab News and Travel and Tour World.
Listeners should remain vigilant, particularly regarding severe weather alerts, vaccine updates, emerging infectious diseases, and the use of unregulated substances. It’s important to follow official sources such as state and local health departments, the CDC, and weather services for the most timely and accurate information.
