The number of measles cases in the U.S. has reached a 33-year record high, years after it was officially eliminated in the country, prompting public health experts to sound the alarm that other diseases could experience a similar resurgence.

Cases have reached the highest yearly total since 1992 in less than seven months, and vaccination rates for kindergartners have fallen nationally.

More than two-thirds of states have reported at least one case, with 27 outbreaks identified nationwide. Three deaths have occurred, two unvaccinated children in Texas and one adult in New Mexico, wit

The Texas Department of State Health Services has reported no new measles cases linked to the West Texas outbreak this week.

Johns Hopkins’ data showed 790 confirmed cases in Texas — the epicenter of the current measles outbreak — while 95 cases were reported in New Mexico.

Johns Hopkins University data reflects the public health reversal in defeating the vaccine-preventable disease since measles was officially eliminated from the U.S. in 2000.

The U.S. is having its worst year for measles spread in more than three decades, with a total of 1,288 cases nationally and another six months to go in 2025.

With the first measles case reported in Bexar County earlier this week, some parents are closely monitoring the outbreak.
