Greetings Jefferson County Commissioners, Dr Allison Berry, and Willie Bence,
Please see the KPTZ listener questions listed below for the BOCC Public Health update on Monday, March 2, 2026.
Thank you,
Lynn Sorensen
KPTZ Virus Watch Team
Questions for Dr Allison Berry:
1. Is there any health or policy reason why we should keep our DHS Covid vaccine cards?
2. My husband and I are in our mid-70s and in good health. Last October we got our flu shots and Covid vaccines. Do we need to get another Covid vaccine booster this April?
3. The recent Texas measles outbreak was over 900 cases and now South Carolina’s measles outbreak is likely over 1,000 documented cases.
What has the outcome been in Texas? Have measles continued to spread exponentially? Is the same expected in South Carolina?
There doesn't seem to be much if any public media coverage.
What can you tell us about these outbreaks currently?
What about measles cases in the state of Washington? Jefferson County?
