The United States has reported 5,182 confirmed measles cases since the beginning of 2026, the highest level in 35 years for this highly contagious disease. Eight people have died since August, mostly very young children, and nearly all cases were recorded among unvaccinated people.

The outbreak, which began in 2025, continues to spread, and doctors warn that the actual number of infections could be higher than officially reported. The Pan American Health Organization is due to reassess the situation starting next week, and experts expect the United States to lose its status as a country where measles has been eliminated, achieved in 2000.

The disease’s return is associated with declining vaccination rates and the spread of misinformation. The Trump administration is being criticized for cutting resources for health agencies and downplaying the crisis, including through statements by Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., known for his vaccine-skeptic views.

Measles can cause fever, skin rashes, pneumonia, and inflammation of the brain. Doctors warn that declining vaccination rates could encourage the resurgence of whooping cough and chickenpox in the coming years.

Context: Focarul de rujeolă a declanșat răspunsuri de urgență în New York și Pennsylvania, după decese și rate scăzute de vaccinare

În statul New York, autoritățile au declarat luni stare de urgență la nivelul întregului stat din cauza unui focar de rujeolă în comunități rurale cu rate scăzute de imunizare. Ordinul a extins categoria persoanelor autorizate să administreze vaccinul MMR și a fost justificat de necesitatea accelerării accesului la vaccinare și limitării răspândirii bolii. În comitatul Lewis, a fost raportat și primul deces provocat de rujeolă în ultimii 30 de ani, în contextul unei epidemii și al scăderii ratelor de vaccinare.

Și în Pennsylvania au fost anunțate decese legate de rujeolă: două persoane nevaccinate din comitatul Lancaster au murit, marcând prima astfel de situație pentru stat în ultimele 35 de ani. Autoritățile au semnalat că rujeola fusese aproape eliminată în Pennsylvania timp de peste trei decenii, iar oamenii nu mai sunt familiarizați cu gravitatea unei boli extrem de contagioase.
