US EditionUS measles count nears 1,200 cases as Ohio officials confirm 3 outbreaks are over
OHIO, UNITED STATES, JUN 13 – Ohio health officials confirmed three measles outbreaks are over as the U.S. nears 1,200 cases in 2025, with 55% of Texas cases in an undervaccinated Mennonite community, CDC said.
- Health authorities reported a total of 1,197 confirmed measles cases in the United States so far in 2025, with under 30 new cases recorded this past week and the conclusion of three outbreaks in Ohio.
- The current surge follows a large 2019 outbreak with 1,274 cases when the U.S. nearly lost its elimination status, driven by declining childhood vaccination rates and more exemption claims.
- Texas experienced the largest outbreak this year, with 744 cases mainly in an under-vaccinated Mennonite community in Gaines County, including two deaths of elementary-aged children.
- The CDC is urging summer camps to confirm that all campers, employees, and helpers have immunity to measles, either through immunization or previous infection, highlighting the heightened risk of rapid transmission in close-contact environments.
- The ongoing outbreaks and related deaths underscore risks from gaps in vaccination, prompting enhanced travel warnings and preventive measures to avoid further spread this summer.
