Experiencing extreme heat during pregnancy is linked to higher risks for babies, including preterm birth, stillbirth, and low birth weight. Pregnant women may also face higher risks of high blood pressure. Children also can become ill during extreme heat.
WHO, WMO, UNICEF and UNFPA have identified key indicators to help countries spot these risks using data they already collect — such as preterm births, clinic visits, deaths and school attendance — alongside heat exposure data.
Measuring the health impacts of heat means, we can act sooner to protect those most at risk: https://t.co/dMPYVsaj1y

Epidemiology facts: Migraine is the 2nd most disabling disease in the world and the first most disabling disease in people who are 15-49 years of age. @DawnBuse@ahsheadache#AHSAZ
Pennsylvania public health officials have confirmed the state's first measles-associated deaths in thirty-five years, marking a sobering reminder of the biological power of a largely preventable disease. Both individuals were unvaccinated Lancaster County residents, emerging amid a broader nationwide rise in cases that underscores how fragile community protection can be when immunization rates decline.
While measles is often mistakenly remembered as a routine childhood rash, virologists recognize it as one of the most contagious pathogens on Earth. The virus travels through microscopic airborne droplets that linger suspended in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves a room. Because of this extreme airborne efficiency, a single person with measles can infect nine out of ten unprotected people nearby, making widespread community transmission inevitable whenever local immunity falls below ninety-five percent.
Inside the human body, the measles virus goes far beyond surface symptoms. It directly attacks key immune cells, causing a phenomenon known as immune amnesia that temporarily erases years of built-up antibody defenses against other illnesses. In severe cases, the infection triggers life-threatening complications, including acute viral pneumonia, permanent neurological swelling, and respiratory failure.
The development of the MMR vaccine transformed measles from a constant global threat into a completely manageable disease, with standard two-dose regimens providing ninety-seven percent lifelong protection. Maintaining robust vaccination coverage remains the single most effective shield against the return of severe, airborne pathogens in our communities.
