The first quarter of 2024 has seen the number of measles cases recorded in the U.S. stand significantly higher than in recent years, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) details.
Americans have reported a total of 338 cases since January 1, 2020—and 97 cases, or 29 percent of the total, came between the start of 2024 and March 28, per the report. And as of April 11, the number of cases in 2024 had risen to 121.
“What was surprising about 2024 is that we’ve seen a significant increase,” John Brownstein, an epidemiologist at Boston Children’s Hospital, told ABC News’ Mary Kekatos.
“It’s an alarming number, because it indicates a trend going in the wrong direction for us, a virus that we have successfully controlled, a virus that we successfully have an effective vaccine for,” Brownsein said.
Dozens of cases of measles, and even a “small number” of tuberculosis (TB) cases have been reported at a migrant shelter in Chicago.
The CDC is admitting that the measles outbreak is coming from a foreign source.
A bulletin posted on social media says, “Almost all people in the U.S. with measles either traveled internationally or were around someone who traveled internationally.”
