As measles cases climb, these 9 diseases threaten comebacks

Measles cases are rising due to declining vaccination rates, risking the loss of the U.S.'s measles elimination status held since 2000.
Pertussis cases have increased significantly in 2024, following reduced vaccination coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other vaccine-preventable diseases such as meningitis, polio, rotavirus, RSV, tetanus, rubella, hepatitis B, and diphtheria are at risk of resurgence if vaccination rates decline.
Experts warn that decreasing vaccination rates could lead to millions of future cases and the reemergence of serious infections, threatening public health gains.
