As of early September 2026, the CDC has recorded 3,134 confirmed U.S. measles cases year-to-date, the highest annual total since 1991 and already well above 2025’s full-year count of 2,289. Primary drivers include sustained domestic transmission in under-vaccinated communities, with 94% of cases occurring among individuals who are unvaccinated or have unknown status and 95% linked to outbreaks across 47 jurisdictions. Active hotspots in Pennsylvania (over 550 cases, with rapid weekly gains), Wisconsin, Ohio, and other states continue to fuel new infections via airborne spread, while 8% of cases have required hospitalization. CDC surveillance updates and state health department reports released weekly provide the key data releases that will determine final counts by September 30.
