Illinois health officials confirm state's fourth measles case of 2025

Illinois health officials confirmed the state's fourth measles case in 2025, including infections in Chicago and suburban Cook County residents.
The recent increase in cases reflects lagging vaccination rates and ongoing outbreaks in multiple states, including a large one in Texas beginning near the New Mexico border.
Texas has reported at least 683 measles cases linked to public venues, with the vaccination status of some patients unknown or unvaccinated, including a Denton County adult case.
The CDC reported 935 confirmed U.S. cases across 29 states this year, with about 96% occurring in unvaccinated or unknown-status individuals and two-dose MMR vaccine being 97% effective.
Health experts warn measles may become endemic again without increased vaccination, given measles’ high contagion and risk of serious complications, especially for young children.
