Why it matters locally: An increase in national measles cases highlights public health concerns that could impact Missouri's healthcare system and the work of agencies like the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services in monitoring and preventing outbreaks.


The United States has recorded 2,318 measles cases through July of this year, according to a report released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This count exceeds the 2,289 cases documented throughout all of last year. The CDC compiled these figures based on reports received up to this point in 2026.
