Experts warn of 2026 measles comeback
The World Health Organization warns of the return of measles to global circulation in 2026, with an estimated 11 million people infected due to declining vaccination rates, especially in low- and middle-income countries, despite the availability of safe and effective vaccines. The disease's danger increases due to its high transmissibility, as the required vaccination coverage for protection exceeds 95%. However, many countries do not achieve this target, exposing millions of individuals to risk and leading to repeated outbreaks in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The ongoing need to strengthen vaccination campaigns and remind communities of their importance remains crucial to reducing the spread of the disease and its serious complications.
