## Resource

The United States has logged more than 2,260 confirmed measles cases in 2026 through July 23rd, nearly matching all of 2025, putting this on pace to be the worst year since measles was declared eliminated here in 2000. Hawk walks through the data and explains what losing elimination status actually means. Roughly 90 percent of cases trace to communities with low vaccination coverage.
