America reports two measles deaths in 2026
The United States recorded its first two deaths from measles in 2026, in Pennsylvania, following a decline in vaccination rates and a rise in cases. The number of confirmed cases exceeded 2,770, surpassing the total in 2025. This increase is attributed to a decline in trust in vaccines, leading to the resurgence of a disease that had nearly been eradicated in the past. With ongoing limited vaccination coverage, fatalities—once eliminated more than 35 years ago—are now recurring.
