CDC measles death tally lags Pennsylvania's count by two

Pennsylvania state officials report four measles-related deaths this year, while the CDC's national count stands at two, indicating a reporting discrepancy. The gap likely stems from differences in case definition or reporting lag, and the true national toll may be undercounted. This matters for public-health surveillance accuracy and resource allocation during an ongoing outbreak.
