U.S. Measles Cases Exceed Previous Year's Total by July
09/23/2026 · North Carolina edition
Why it matters locally: While the CDC report is national, public health officials in North Carolina would closely monitor these trends, as measles is highly contagious and can spread rapidly if introduced into unvaccinated communities within the state.
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.
