All international travelers should get measles vaccinations, CDC says

  • A symptomatic passenger with active measles landed at Salt Lake City International Airport on May 19 and traveled to southern Idaho before returning on May 23 and boarding another plane.
  • This incident followed increasing measles cases in the U.S., with more than twice as many imported cases compared to last year, prompting concern from health officials.
  • State officials assessed the individual as low-risk, noting he was likely vaccinated with one dose not U.S.-approved, and chose not to issue public advisories to avoid panic.
  • The CDC updated its policy on June 3, recommending two MMR doses for all international travelers aged one and older, and early vaccination for infants six months and up, citing rising measles transmission in transit.
  • The U.S. currently has over 1,000 confirmed measles cases in 2025, with significant outbreaks and deaths in Texas and other states, thus the CDC stresses vaccination to prevent further spread.
