The United States is currently experiencing its worst measles outbreak in decades, with cases reaching a 33-year record high. Health officials report over 1,200 confirmed cases, marking the most significant surge since the disease was declared eliminated in the country in 2000. Multiple states, including New Jersey, have been identified as high-risk areas, prompting urgent calls for vaccinations. Experts recommend preventative measures, especially for travelers, as concerns grow about the impact of low vaccination rates in certain regions. As the outbreak spreads across 39 states, health officials warn that the elimination status of measles in the U.S. may be at risk.
