measles

Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000, but the country is about to lose that designation as cases and outbreaks rapidly grow. Nationally, there have been more than 1,100 cases of measles infections - with 12 cases here in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania has reported 12 confirmed cases of measles so far in 2026 and is on track to surpass last year’s total of 16 infections.
