U.S. Measles Cases Exceed Previous Year's Total by July
09/23/2026 · Mississippi edition
Why it matters locally: The increase in measles cases nationally highlights a public health concern that could impact Mississippi residents, particularly given the state's vaccination rates and potential for disease spread within communities.
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.
