Measles cases have been confirmed in multiple locations across Georgia. In mid-September, the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) reported an outbreak at a metro Atlanta daycare, with 10 cases linked to that specific location. This contributed to a state total of 16 confirmed cases for the year, occurring during a period of national resurgence.

By late September, health officials identified five new cases within a single family in Jasper County. These cases involved siblings who were either unvaccinated or insufficiently vaccinated, with at least one sibling having a history of out-of-state travel. The DPH stated these Jasper County cases were not related to the previous outbreak in Cobb County.
