CDC warns that measles spike poses a 'renewed threat' to the disease's elimination
Briefly

More than 80% of measles cases in 2024 involve unvaccinated or unknown status individuals, endangering the previously eliminated status in the U.S.
CDC warns that the surge in measles cases, surpassing 120 so far this year, poses a renewed threat to elimination, mainly caused by vaccine hesitancy.
Global measles incidence rises, with 9 million cases and 43% more deaths in 2022. CDC reports cases linked to international travel, skepticism, and low vaccination rates.
