Ongoing measles transmission in the United States, driven by large outbreaks that began in 2025 and continue into 2026, has produced 2,777 confirmed cases as of August 20 according to CDC surveillance, already exceeding the full-year 2025 total of 2,289. Most cases (94%) are outbreak-associated and linked to undervaccinated communities, with the majority occurring in children and young adults. Weekly additions of 50–100 cases reflect sustained local spread rather than solely imported infections, consistent with historical patterns when MMR coverage falls below herd-immunity thresholds. CDC’s next weekly update, expected within days, and any new case reports through August 31 will determine the final cumulative total for market resolution.
