Measles cases are on the rise globally, with the World Health Organization (WHO) highlighting that vaccination rates have dipped below the critical 95% threshold. Despite significant progress in reducing measles deaths by 88% since 2000—thanks to vaccination efforts that saved an estimated 59 million lives—the recent surge in cases poses a serious threat to global health, making the goal of elimination seem distant. The WHO expresses concern over growing outbreaks, particularly in Europe, and warns that the current trends may foreshadow a resurgence of other infectious diseases as immunization gaps widen.
