CDC surveillance data shows 64 confirmed measles cases in the US from January 1 to March 28, 2024, concentrated in outbreaks at a Chicago shelter housing over 900 migrants, a Florida elementary school, and smaller clusters in six other states, primarily among unvaccinated individuals exposed via international travel. This uptick reflects measles' high transmissibility (R0 of 12–18) amid pockets of vaccine hesitancy below the 95% herd immunity threshold, echoing 2019's 1,282-case record. Traders should watch CDC's weekly MMWR reports through March 31 for final tallies, as underreporting or new exposures could push counts higher; official data resolves the market post-deadline. Model consensus anticipates modest further rises absent new importations.
