The longer answer
The CDC’s measles surveillance data show that a total of 285 measles cases were reported in the U.S. for the calendar year 2024.1
Earlier in the year, the CDC had recorded 97 cases as of March 28, 2024, illustrating the cumulative increase throughout the year.2
Subsequent reports indicate that the 2024 total of 285 cases has already been exceeded in 2025, confirming the ongoing nature of measles transmission.4
One honest caveat:
These figures pertain to U.S. reports and may be updated as additional data are submitted; they do not reflect global measles case counts.
