CDC reports highest measles rates in 35 years following outbreaks

The CDC has reported a significant increase in measles cases in the U.S., with 2,318 cases recorded in the first seven months of 2026, marking a 35-year high. The rise is attributed to decreased vaccination rates, and the Pan American Health Organization is set to review the U.S.'s measles elimination status in November, which may be at risk due to the recent outbreaks.
