Measles cases in Europe and Central Asia dropped 75% in 2025 due to better vaccination, but risks remain due to low coverage and hesitancy.
Measles cases in Europe and Central Asia fell by 75% in 2025, dropping from 127,412 to 33,998, according to WHO and UNICEF, driven by improved vaccination efforts and outbreak responses.
Despite the decline, cases remained higher than in most years since 2000, and 19 countries reported ongoing or re-established measles transmission, the highest number in recent years.
Health officials warn that gaps in vaccination coverage and vaccine hesitancy continue to pose a risk, stressing that at least 95% immunization rates are needed to stop spread.
They urge sustained investment in vaccination programs, surveillance, and public health infrastructure to prevent future outbreaks.
