MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2016;65(Early Release)

As of March 16, 2016, the highest number of Zika virus disease cases in the
United States and U.S. territories were reported from Puerto Rico. Increasing
evidence links Zika virus infection during pregnancy to adverse pregnancy and
birth outcomes. High rates of unintended and adolescent pregnancies in Puerto
Rico suggest access to contraception might need to be improved in the context
of this outbreak.
