USA Today As measles cases continue to rise in the U.S. and abroad, travelers may be concerned about visiting destinations with ongoing outbreaks.
There have been 483 confirmed cases reported so far this year by more than a dozen states including California, Florida, Ohio and Vermont, with the highest numbers concentrated in Texas, New Mexico and Kansas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those numbers have already surpassed the total cases in all of 2024.
Ninety-seven percent of those 2025 cases have occurred in people who are unvaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown, the CDC said.
