Falling Vaccination Rates Brings Spikes in Measles Worldwide
Because of global gaps in vaccination coverage, 57 countries experienced measles outbreaks in 2023, the agencies noted, representing a nearly 60% increase from 36 countries in 2022. Nearly half of all outbreaks occurred in the African region, according to the WHO.
Surging infections and missed vaccinations put thousands of lives at risk, threatening global elimination goals.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a decrease in global immunizations is driving the surge.
