Measles Surge Hits Record Highs | Annapolis News

Measles is roaring back in the U.S., with over 2,300 confirmed cases this year—already surpassing all of 2025 and marking the worst outbreak since 1991. Hotspots in South Carolina, Utah, Arizona, and Maryland are fueling the surge, while vaccination rates dip below the critical 95% needed to stop transmission. Experts warn this isn’t just a personal risk—it’s a public health emergency, especially for babies and immunocompromised individuals. And with many cases likely unreported, the real scale of the crisis may be even worse. The world will soon decide if the U.S. and Mexico can still claim measles-free status—time is running out.
