JAMA reports that childhood vaccination rates against measles, mumps, and rubella have been declining in much of the US since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 1,088 confirmed measles cases were reported by 33 jurisdictions in the US. Of those cases, 96% were in people who were either unvaccinated or whose vaccination status was unknown. So far in 2025, there have been 14 reported outbreaks and three people confirmed to have died of measles-related complications, all of whom were unvaccinated. Before this year, the last confirmed measles-related death in the country occurred in 2015.
