US reports two measles deaths in 2026

The first reported deaths related to measles in Pennsylvania in 2026 involved two unvaccinated individuals. This occurred amidst a surge in cases and a decline in vaccination rates, with 393 confirmed cases since the beginning of the year compared to 2,289 cases in 2025. The country is on the verge of losing its "measles elimination" status due to ongoing virus transmission and vaccination rates dropping below 95%, which threatens to lead to a resurgence of the disease. Measles is highly contagious airborne disease that can cause serious complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis.
