Visualized: America's Surge in Measles Cases in 2025

UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – Over 1,300 measles cases reported across 39 states with 92% among unvaccinated individuals, marking the highest incidence since 1992, CDC data shows.

  • In the United States, 1,319 measles cases across 39 states, the highest since 1992, CDC reported Wednesday.
  • Declining vaccination levels led to the surge, as childhood vaccination rates have fallen, eroding herd immunity below the 95% threshold, CDC reported.
  • In Western Iowa, a fully vaccinated adult contracted measles, according to Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, and exposure was identified at Taylor Park Trading Post on July 12, with Gunnison Valley Hospital exposure on July 16, authorities say.
  • As a result, Martha says the daycare is closed for the next month, leading to quarantine and work disruptions.
  • Public health experts warn that an accelerated MMR vaccination schedule is advisable, as 92% of cases involve unvaccinated or unknown status, to curb the surge.
