There have been 626 cases of measles reported in the United States this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's 71 more than the agency reported last week in its weekly update.
Just four months into the year, the number of cases is only 42 away from surpassing the record of 667 cases in 2014, the highest number since the illness was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000."In the coming weeks, 2019 confirmed case numbers will likely surpass 2014 levels," the agency said on its website Monday. Iowa and Tennessee reported cases for the first time this week, bringing the total number of states reporting measles this year to 22.
A source familiar with the measles situation in the US told CNN that of the 626 cases of measles in 2019, 72% are unvaccinated, and 18% have an unknown vaccination status. Among those who are unvaccinated, it may be because of personal beliefs and medical reasons. The other 10% were vaccinated with either one or two doses. Of the 626 cases, 487 are in people 19 and younger. Measles is endemic in many countries other than the United States.
