As of May 7, 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports 1,842 confirmed measles cases in the United States for the year, with 93% outbreak-associated across 39 jurisdictions, including major clusters in South Carolina (669 cases, now declared over), Utah (439), and Texas (182). Hospitalizations stand at 113 (6%), with no deaths; 92% of cases occurred in unvaccinated or unknown-status individuals amid national kindergarten MMR vaccination coverage of 92.5%, below the 95% herd immunity threshold. Weekly cases by rash onset have declined recently—from 40 in mid-April to just 7 as of May 3—reflecting containment efforts, though pockets of low vaccination sustain risk. CDC surveillance updates Thursdays, with final May 31 tallies determining resolution; travel and underreporting could influence late surges.
