Global measles resurgence and US reporting disputes
Overview
The 2026 global measles resurgence continues to escalate. In Bangladesh, the death toll has risen to over 1,200, with more than 220,000 recorded cases since mid-March. Experts describe the epidemic as one of the deadliest in the country’s history, noting that 94 percent of fatalities are children under five. The crisis is linked to a deteriorating immunization system where only 82 percent of children are up-to-date on vaccinations, falling short of the 95 percent target. Factors contributing to the scale include gaps in vaccine procurement and disruptions to government services following the fall of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Health officials warn of imminent risks for further outbreaks of diphtheria, pertussis, and polio.
In Europe, declining childhood vaccination rates have led to significant outbreaks, notably in Italy, where over 90% of infections involve unvaccinated individuals.
The Americas are facing a significant surge, with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) reporting 55,792 confirmed cases and 77 deaths between January and October 2026—a 4.8-fold increase over 2025. Guatemala and Mexico report the highest case counts, while the United States, Peru, and Canada account for 99.5% of the region's infections.
In the United States, the surge has reached its highest levels since 1991. The CDC has reported over 4,580 cases in 2026, doubling the 2025 total. Approximately 96% of cases involve individuals who are unvaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status. Pennsylvania remains a primary epicenter, reporting over 1,300 cases and six deaths, including two infants. The outbreak has significantly impacted Amish communities in Lancaster and Mifflin counties. This has sparked political tension between Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. regarding death classifications.
