The map in the article shows where in the U.S. the highest total numbers of measles cases are in 2025 and also the increase in cases over the last week. According to the CDC, approximately 1,514 to 1,809 cases of measles have been confirmed in the U.S. so far in 2025 (cumulative counts vary by source and reporting date), with 23 new cases reported in the past week in one of the weekly summaries[1][3]. About 86-93% of cases are part of outbreaks, and 92% of those infected were unvaccinated or had undetermined vaccination status[1][3]. Approximately 12% of all cases required hospitalization and there were at least 3 confirmed deaths during the year[1][3]. The greatest concentration of cases was reported in outbreaks in Texas and New Mexico (198 in Texas and 10 in New Mexico in one larger outbreak), with the majority of cases in the earlier reporting coming from these two states[2]. The CDC and state health authorities recommend administration of two doses of MMR vaccine according to the standard vaccination schedule and point out the need to follow local recommendations during outbreaks[2].
