## Resource

A six-week-old Amish girl in Lancaster County has died from measles — confirmed as the direct cause — making this the first measles-related infant death in Pennsylvania this year. Her rare genetic condition, Amish lethal microcephaly, heightened her vulnerability to viruses. This comes amid controversy over how the state classifies measles deaths: Governor Shapiro cited two unvaccinated individuals who died with measles, but the CDC hasn’t officially counted them yet, fueling confusion and debate over accurate national data. Officials are still determining whether this tragic case will change Lancaster County’s zero-measles-death record for 2024.
