The U.S. has lost its measles elimination status, according to global health authorities[1, 4, 5, 7, 9]. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed 5,412 measles cases in 2026, more than double the number from the previous year and the highest number since 1991[3, 6]. This surge in cases led to the U.S. losing its measles elimination status after 26 years[4–6, 9]. The number of confirmed measles cases across the U.S. this year has soared to 5,412 as of November 12[6].
