Tracking Measles Outbreaks and Cases in the US

The U.S. Reported 1,046 confirmed measles cases on May 30, 2025, with outbreaks active in multiple states including Texas and Kansas.
The current outbreaks stem from increased global measles activity and lower vaccination rates among some communities since the pandemic.
Texas leads with 728 cases mainly in West Texas's Gaines County, where the virus spread in an undervaccinated Mennonite community, and outbreaks also persist in states like Michigan, Montana, and Ohio.
Public health officials noted a 22-case increase this past week nationwide and said the outbreak "appeared to be leveling off" despite exposures at a Colorado airport and a New Jersey concert.
The situation highlights the ongoing public health challenge of controlling measles through vaccination, especially during travel season with cases linked abroad and recent deaths in Texas and New Mexico.
