Summary

Measles is roaring back in the U.S., with cases already surpassing last year’s total—over 2,300 reported halfway through 2025, making it the worst outbreak since 1991. Major hotspots include South Carolina, Utah, and Arizona, where actual cases may be 3 to 4 times higher than official numbers due to underreporting. With vaccination rates falling below the critical 95% threshold, communities are at risk—especially vulnerable kids and immunocompromised individuals. The U.S. and Mexico face a November decision on whether to lose their measles-free status, a stark reminder that protecting public health is a shared responsibility.
