Measles cases surge in the U.S., nearing 1,200 in 2025, as vaccination rates drop post-pandemic.

The US is on the verge of surpassing 1,200 confirmed measles cases in 2025, marking a significant rise since the disease was declared eliminated in 2000. Ohio has declared three outbreaks over, while ongoing outbreaks are reported in nine states. The resurgence is partly due to reduced vaccination rates since the pandemic. In Canada, Ontario has seen 2,083 cases, and Alberta has surpassed its 1985 record with 868 cases. Health officials are urging people to check their vaccination status and stay vigilant.
