Here are the latest measles news highlights I could confirm recently:
PAHO/WHO reported rising measles activity in the Americas through mid-2025, with 7,132 confirmed cases and 13 deaths as of June 2025, a substantial increase from 2024, and it called for strengthened vaccination coverage and intensified campaigns. This underscores gaps in routine immunization and the need to reach 95% coverage with two doses in affected areas.[1]
In the United States, measles outbreaks continued to attract attention in 2025, with reports of dozens to hundreds of cases across multiple states and ongoing emphasis on vaccination, including two-dose MMR immunity as the protective measure.[3][4]
Canadian and European concerns also featured outbreaks or rising case counts in 2025, with public health agencies urging vaccination to curb spread and protect vulnerable groups.[3]
Global health coverage in mid-2025-early 2026 continued to warn about misinformation and gaps in immunization, highlighting the importance of high vaccination uptake and rapid outbreak response in preventing wider spread.[7][9]

Would you prefer a UK-focused roundup or a global snapshot with emphasis on the Americas and Europe?
