As of February 2026, the United States recorded 0.21 measles cases per 100,000 people. With infections rising once again, the country risks losing its measles elimination status—similar to Canada, which lost its status in November 2025. The World Health Organization (WHO) had originally declared measles eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, following decades of successful vaccination efforts.
