The U.S. is experiencing a significant rise in measles cases, with 1,288 cases reported as of July 8, 2025, the highest since 1992. Most cases cluster in outbreaks, primarily affecting unvaccinated individuals, especially children. 29% of cases were in children under 5, and 92% of infected individuals were either unvaccinated or had unknown vaccination status. Texas has the highest number of cases, largely due to a major outbreak in a low-vaccination community. The resurgence of measles poses serious risks, as evidenced by hospitalizations and reported deaths.
