Measles cases in 2026 on track to exceed last year's total
Original: Measles cases in 2026 are set to surpass last year's total. Here's why
Health reporting indicates measles infections recorded so far in 2026 are projected to surpass the total for the previous year, reversing progress against a disease considered eliminated in many countries. Falling vaccination rates and continued outbreaks are cited as key drivers of the rise.
Why now: Renewed measles outbreaks and declining childhood immunisation rates have made the resurgence of a preventable disease a growing public health concern.
