Measles Outbreak Hits U.S., Over 1,000 Cases This Year
Atlanta, Georgia, USA: The U.S. has recorded over 1,000 measles cases in 31 states this year, the worst outbreak since 2019. Officials say most infections are tied to pockets of low vaccination, often in communities influenced by anti-vaccine sentiment. Texas and Ohio are among the hardest-hit areas. Emergency vaccination clinics are underway as health departments scramble to contain the virus before summer travel amplifies spread.
What this means for you:
Verify your family’s vaccination records—especially for young kids attending daycare or school.
Avoid travel to outbreak zones unless necessary.
Share outbreak alerts in community groups to help slow transmission.

Key Entities

  • CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), monitors disease outbreaks and coordinates public health response.
  • MMR Vaccine, protects against measles, mumps, and rubella—recommended in two doses during childhood.
  • State Health Departments, manage localized outbreak response and emergency clinics.
