Oklahoma Withholds County Measles Data

Oklahoma Withholds Detailed Measles Data Amid Transparency Concerns

Oklahoma is now the only state refusing to release county-level measles data, raising concerns among medical professionals.

Doctors Push for Measles Transparency

According to Oklahoma Watch, former state medical association president George Monks has spent more than a month requesting more detailed information from the state health department.

Monks argues that regional data is critical for tracking outbreaks and protecting public health.

Vaccination Politics Cited as Concern

Monks says the refusal appears tied to anti-vaccination politics, not medical reasoning. Health experts warn that limited transparency could hinder response efforts if measles cases spread.

The state health department has not publicly explained why Oklahoma differs from every other state on measles reporting.
