In 2024, there were 285 measles cases in the United States. That year, Minnesota had the highest number of cases, followed by Illinois, and Oregon. Measles is a highly contagious disease that can be especially dangerous for young children. Vaccines against measles resulted in a significant decrease in cases in the United States over the last few decades; however, increasing vaccine hesitancy and skepticism has been blamed for recent outbreaks.
