The number of measles cases in the U.S. this year has already surpassed the record-breaking tally for all of 2025. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention logged 2,318 cases of measles as of Thursday, according to an agency update on Friday. The U.S. had 2,289 cases in 2025, the worst year for measles in more than three decades. Now, with five months still to go, 2026 has easily become the country's worst year for measles since 1991 — as major outbreaks in South Carolina, Utah and Arizona have sickened hundreds and smaller clusters of cases sparked in other states. In Canada, 1,102 measles cases have been reported so far this year, according to Health Canada's most recent update. In 2025, due to an outbreak that cost Canada its measles elimination status, 5,462 cases were reported. In November, international health officials will meet to determine if the U.S. and Mexico have lost their measles-free status.
