美国疾病控制与预防中心向各州提供1亿美元的麻疹防控资金,以应对病例上升。各州表示,这笔现金注入将帮助加强疫苗接种和病例识别工作。

C.D.C. Offers States $100 Million in Measles Support as Cases Climb States said the cash infusion will help bolster efforts to increase vaccinations and identify cases.

随着麻疹在全国范围内继续传播,医院和卫生官员正投入更多资金以提升疫苗接种、检测和疾病监测。

As measles continues to spread nationwide, hospitals and health officials are pouring more money into efforts to increase vaccinations, testing and surveillance of the disease.

该资金包括近期向各州注入的1亿美元,来自美国疾病控制与预防中心。

The funds include a surprise $100 million infusion in recent weeks to states from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

截止10月2日,美国已记录近4000例麻疹病例,为数十年来最高水平。

As of Oct. 2, the United States had recorded nearly 4,000 measles cases, the highest by far in decades.

其中约四分之一的病例发生在宾夕法尼亚州,该州官员称有五人因病毒死亡。

About one-quarter of those cases have occurred in Pennsylvania, where state officials say five people with the virus have died.

但几乎每个州今年都有报告病例,包括纽约州,州长周一宣布麻疹为全州卫生紧急情况。

But nearly every state has reported cases this year, including New York, where the governor on Monday declared measles a statewide health emergency.

部分州官员欢迎CDC在8月和9月分两批各5000万美元的资金,视其为防止未来爆发的屏障。

Some state officials welcomed the funding from the C.D.C., released in two $50 million tranches in August and September, as a bulwark against future outbreaks.

阿拉巴马州公共卫生局官员斯科特·哈里斯博士表示:“我们州尚未出现像宾夕法尼亚或南卡罗来纳那样的大规模爆发,但我们完全预期会有更多病例。”

“Our state has not yet seen a large outbreak as in some other states, like Pennsylvania or South Carolina, but we fully expect to see more cases here,” said Dr. Scott Harris, the state health officer at the Alabama Department of Public Health.

阿拉巴马州获得30万美元用于麻疹免疫计划,60万美元用于监测和诊断。

Alabama received $300,000 for measles immunization programs and $600,000 for surveillance and diagnoses, he said.

该资金旨在用于免疫计划以及改进麻疹监测,包括对严重感染和孕妇及婴儿病例的诊断。

The funding is intended for immunization programs and for efforts to improve measles surveillance, including diagnoses of severe infections and cases in pregnant women and infants.

美国出生时的麻疹感染极为罕见,但宾夕法尼亚的两例死亡被认为与此类病例有关。

Measles infections at birth had been extremely rare in the United States, but two of the Pennsylvania deaths were thought to have resulted from such cases.

资金的注入“恰逢公共卫生资金和人员被削减之时,因而迫切需要”,免疫管理者协会执行董事克莱尔·汉南表示,该协会代表州和地方官员。

The infusion of funds “comes at a time when public health funding and staffing has been cut, so it is sorely needed,” said Claire Hannan, executive director of the Association of Immunization Managers, which represents state and local officials.
