Measles Surge Threatens U.S. Progress | Savannah News

Measles is roaring back in the U.S. with over 2,300 cases this year alone—already surpassing all of last year—and experts warn the real number is likely much higher. Outbreaks are exploding in states like Utah, South Carolina, and Arizona, where undercounts are common because not everyone seeks care. With vaccination rates dipping below the critical 95% needed to stop spread, the U.S. and Mexico may soon lose their measles-free status. Health officials stress that every unvaccinated person is a potential spark for a wildfire of infection—and the only way to stop it is to keep the herd immunity intact.
