CDC confirms 102 measles cases in the U.S. as of March 28, 2024, across 16 jurisdictions, with most tied to international travel and outbreaks in under-vaccinated communities like Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood (12 cases from an asylum shelter) and a Florida elementary school exposure. Measles' high transmissibility (R0 of 12–18) exploits vaccination coverage below the 95% herd immunity threshold in affected pockets, driving rapid spread despite public health interventions. Case counts rose from 64 a week prior, but no new reports in the last 48 hours; the next CDC surveillance update, typically Fridays, will clarify late-March tallies critical for March 31 resolution. Monitor ongoing exposures and quarantine efficacy for shifts in epidemiological trajectory.
