K-12 Vaccination Rates in WA Dropped Again

COLORADO, UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – The CDC reports a national decline in measles cases with just 10 new infections last week and 99 hospitalizations during the outbreak, driven by low vaccination rates.

  • Washington’s K-12 vaccination rates dropped again in the 2024-2025 school year, marking a fifth consecutive year of decline.
  • This drop follows a national trend of declining vaccination rates since the COVID-19 pandemic amid rising vaccine skepticism, including among Native American communities.
  • About 89.6% of Washington students were up-to-date on required vaccines including measles, below the 95% herd immunity threshold, with declines in 30 of 39 counties.
  • The U.S. recorded 1,319 confirmed measles cases in 2025 with three deaths, mostly unvaccinated and concentrated in Texas, highlighting ongoing disease spread and vaccination gaps.
  • Health officials urge families to vaccinate promptly as measles outbreaks persist nationwide and vaccination exemptions rise, stressing state immunization requirements for school attendance.
