Measles Surge Spurs Shots
The United States has recorded 4,852 confirmed measles cases in 2026, following 2,289 in 2025 and 285 in 2024; experts cite declining vaccination and outbreaks in undervaccinated communities. New York’s first measles death in three decades was a 7-month-old infant from Lewis County, while Long Island has reported four cases since 2024 and no current outbreak. Health officials urge timely MMR vaccination, with doses recommended at 12–15 months and ages 4–6.
