Measles Cases in 2019


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that from January 1 to June 13, 2019, 1044 cases of measles have been confirmed in the United States. This is the greatest number of cases reported in the U.S. since 1992 when 963 cases were reported for the entire year.


The outbreak has escalated since 82 people in 2018 and more that 40 people in 2019 brought measles to the U.S. from other countries, most frequently Israel, Philippines and Ukraine.

CDC Director Robert Redfield stated that measles is a highly contagious and sometimes deadly disease and for the way to end this outbreak is for children and adults to get vaccinated.

Measles was declared eliminated in 2000 from the list of endemic infectious diseases in the United States but if the current outbreak continues the U.S. could loose that status and the disease would be considered again endemic in the country for the first time in a generation.
