Measles cases in the U.S. break a 33-year record

((CBS News))
The United States has recorded 1,288 measles cases so far this year, the highest total in 33 years, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data out Wednesday.

Just over halfway through 2025, the U.S. has now surpassed 2019's total number of infections, when 1,274 measles cases were confirmed, which at the time was the highest in more than a quarter century.

This is now the worst year for measles in the U.S. since 1992, when 2,126 cases were confirmed. The virus was officially declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, after high rates of vaccination succeeded at halting nearly all domestic spread.
