This market will resolve to "Yes" if there have been the specified amount or more confirmed cases of Measles (Rubeola) in humans in the territory of the United States of America in 2026, according to the CDC case counter by May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The resolution source for this market will be the CDC Measles (Rubeola) counter 'Total Cases' in 2026 (see: https://www.cdc.gov/measles/data-research/index.html) at the resolution time. If the counter becomes unavailable, another credible source will be used. Note: Only cases reported by the CDC Measles (Rubeola) counter will qualify, regardless of reports from U.S. State agencies or other sources.Ongoing transmission in under-vaccinated communities continues to drive U.S. measles cases, with the CDC reporting 1,842 confirmed infections through May 7, 2026—already surpassing the full-year 2024 total. Nearly 93 percent of these cases link to outbreaks that began in 2025 or early 2026, and 72 percent involve children or adolescents. Low MMR vaccination coverage in affected areas, combined with travel-related introductions, sustains spread. CDC weekly surveillance releases through late May, along with any new state-level reports, will determine the final count before the May 31 threshold; continued weekly additions of 20–50 cases remain possible given current trends and summer travel patterns.
