Summary
43 newly confirmed US infections pushed the 2026 measles total to 2,073, with the CDC reporting 30 outbreaks and no new deaths.
93% of patients have been unvaccinated or had unknown vaccination status, and 72% of cases involve children and young adults up to age 19; only 4% had received two MMR doses.
Virginia added 34 cases to reach 111, with 88 linked to an outbreak and at least 88 cases concentrated in Buckingham County over the past month.
Pennsylvania also climbed sharply to 65 cases after 15 new infections, led by Lancaster County with 31 and Lebanon County with 19.
Nationally, nearly all cases are locally acquired, and the 2026 total is already approaching last year's 2,288 as South Carolina's 670-case outbreak has ended and Utah's 490-case outbreak appears to be slowing.
