Recent CDC data through August 20 show 2,777 confirmed U.S. measles cases in 2026—already exceeding the full-year 2025 total of 2,289—with 211 new cases added in the latest weekly update and two deaths reported in Pennsylvania on August 25. Primary drivers include sustained outbreaks across 45 states, 94% of cases occurring in unvaccinated or unknown-status individuals amid kindergarten MMR coverage falling to 92.4%, and 36 active or linked outbreaks contributing 94% of infections. School reopenings and ongoing transmission in high-case states such as South Carolina, Utah, and Pennsylvania are accelerating spread, while CDC surveillance updates and state health department reports will provide the key data releases influencing near-term totals through September 30.
