U.S. measles cases surpass last year's total: Tracker

U.S. measles cases have surpassed last year's total, reaching 2,295—a 35-year high—according to a Johns Hopkins University tracker. The surge is linked to low vaccine coverage in states like South Carolina, Utah, Texas, Florida, and Arizona, threatening the nation's measles elimination status. The CDC reported 2,260 confirmed cases as of July 16, with 34 new outbreaks this year.
