Upstate measles outbreak: Mobile vaccination unit sent to Spartanburg County

The mobile health unit will provide free measles-mumps-rubella vaccinations to the public.

The South Carolina Department of Public Health announced five new cases in Spartanburg County on Oct. 14, bringing that outbreak to 12.

Five out of the eight cases became sick within the past month and are part of a newly identified outbreak of measles.

The state Department of Public Health has launched a new web page to provide comprehensive tracking of confirmed rabies cases.

This bat is the fourth animal in Greenville County to test positive for rabies in 2025.

The units will serve remote areas across the state that do not have access to public health services.
