As of late May 2026, the CDC reported 1,983 confirmed U.S. measles cases year-to-date through May 28, with 93% linked to ongoing outbreaks and 92% occurring among unvaccinated individuals or those with unknown status. This surge, building on 2,288 cases in 2025, stems from sustained transmission in under-vaccinated communities across multiple states, including rising activity in Utah after earlier peaks in Texas and South Carolina. Official surveillance shows most cases are domestically acquired rather than travel-related, heightening risks to the nation’s measles elimination status declared in 2000. Upcoming CDC updates on case counts and outbreak status through the end of May will provide final data for resolution, while summer travel patterns could influence any late additions.
