The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning of a rise in U.S. measles cases, with a total in 2024 already matching all those reported last year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued an alert to public health officials warning that the number of U.S. measles cases this year has already matched the entirety of 2023. 'From January 1 to March 14, 2024, CDC has been notified of 58 confirmed U.S. cases of measles across 17 jurisdictions, including seven outbreaks in seven jurisdictions compared to 58 total cases and four outbreaks reported the entire year in 2023,' it said Monday.
Given currently high population immunity against measles in most U.S. communities, the risk of widescale spread is low,' according to the CDC. 'However, pockets of low coverage leave some communities at higher risk for outbreaks.'
