The CDC reports a significant rise in measles cases in the US, with 80 new cases this week, the highest in over a month, bringing the total to 1,168 across 34 states. The increase is linked to declining vaccination rates and travel-related outbreaks, with most cases among unvaccinated individuals. The resurgence threatens to surpass the 2019 record and highlights ongoing challenges in measles control despite its previous elimination in 2000.
