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.
