CDC Ignored States' Requests to Validate New Measles Test

Original: CDC Ignored Request from States to Validate a New Measles Test

The CDC reportedly declined requests from state health officials to validate a new measles diagnostic test, according to a New York Times report. State laboratories rely on the agency to confirm the accuracy of tests used to detect measles cases and track outbreaks, and the refusal is raising concerns about gaps in measles surveillance as cases resurge in parts of the United States.

Why now: Concerns about weakened public health oversight of measles testing amid rising cases.
