There were 1,274 confirmed measles cases in 2019, according to the CDC, only 272 more than have been reported in the first five months of 2025.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-elevate inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmaej7n0y00083b6mn2mnrwf8@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">            The CDC publishes data on measles cases each Friday, but it has stopped providing details on the specific number of cases in each state, and its national total does not always capture the latest updates from states.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-elevate inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmaej7n0y00093b6mu01vzl6h@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">            As of Friday, the CDC was reporting 935 measles cases nationwide. About 13% of those cases have resulted in hospitalization, and only about 4% were in people who had received at least one shot of the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. There have been three measles deaths this year \u2014 equal to the total number of deaths in the prior two decades.    <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-elevate inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph\" data-uri=\"cms.cnn.com\/_components\/paragraph\/instances\/cmaej7n0y000a3b6mcj1co9o0@published\" data-editable=\"text\" data-component-name=\"paragraph\" data-article-gutter=\"true\">            There have been at least 12 outbreaks in the US this year, according to the CDC, defined as three or more related cases. In addition to the large outbreak centered in West Texas, other states with outbreaks include Ohio, where there have been more than 30 cases; Montana; and Michigan.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div>This post appeared first on cnn.com<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal agencies See all topics Facebook Tweet Email Link Link Copied!
