Measles Outbreak

As of March 13, 2025, a total of 301 confirmed measles cases in the U.S. reported by 15 jurisdictions (Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York City, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, and Washington). The measles outbreak in Texas has reached 259 cases, and 34 (13%) have been hospitalized. The measles outbreak in New Mexico has a total of 35 cases. Out of the 301 cases, 50 (17%) were hospitalized. A hospitalization rate of 17% underscores the fact that measles is not just a mild disease such as a cold or a rash; the illness can lead to severe complications requiring hospitalization. Nearly half of the cases (42%) are in school-aged children or teens, and approximately 34% occurred in children younger than 5 years old. Ninety-five percent of individuals who acquired this illness were unvaccinated. > Read the Entire Article
