The largest US measles outbreak in over three decades — 2,288 confirmed cases across 45 jurisdictions in 2025, including three deaths — has been declared over in South Carolina, where nearly 1,000 people were infected. The crisis, centered in communities with vaccination rates far below the 95% herd immunity threshold, prompted a sharp rebound in MMR uptake among young children, raising coverage to 97% among 3-year-olds, though kindergarten rates remain below target and the Americas region has already lost its measles elimination status.
