US EditionOhio among 11 states with active measles outbreaks as US reaches 1,001 cases
- The United States surpassed 1,000 measles cases as of early May 2025, with active outbreaks in Ohio and ten other states across the country.
- The rise in cases follows declining childhood vaccination rates since the pandemic and increased religious or personal exemptions from vaccines.
- Ohio reported 34 cases spread across two outbreaks in Ashtabula and Knox counties, including one hospitalization and cases among residents and visitors.
- Texas leads with 717 cases in 32 counties, 93 hospitalizations, and two deaths of unvaccinated elementary-aged children in Gaines County’s undervaccinated Mennonite community.
- These outbreaks highlight that low vaccination coverage allows measles to spread rapidly, underscoring the importance of the safe and effective MMR vaccine to prevent serious complications.
