The US disease control and prevention center define the occurrence as three or more related cases. The agency calculated seven clusters in 2025 as of Friday.

Do you need an MMR booster?
The best way to avoid measles is to obtain measles, pandemic deeritis and rubella (MMR) vaccines. The first shot is recommended for children between 12 and 15 months and children between 4 and 6 years old.
Scott Weaver of the International Virus Network, the International Union, said that people with a high risk of infection a few years ago would want to consider getting boosters if they lived in an area where the onset occurred. This can include a family who lives with people with measles, or a fundamental medical condition that can include a particularly vulnerable family in respiratory diseases.
The CDC said that adults with “estimated evidence of immunity” are generally not required for measles, CDC said. The standard includes a document born before 1957, when written documents for proper vaccination in the early days of life, laboratory confirmation of past infections, or most people may be infected naturally.
The doctor can order a measles of antibodies by ordering a laboratory test called MMR, but it is not always recommended for experts, and the health insurance plan may not be dealt with.
According to the CDC, getting another MMR shot is harmless if there is a concern about weakened immunity.
Those who hold a living measles vaccine in the 1960s do not need to be reviewed, but before 1968, those who were vaccinated by “murdered” viruses should be spacious at least one dose, the agency said. This includes people who don’t know what type they have.
What is the symptoms of measles?
Measles first infect the respiratory tract, then spread throughout the body, causing high fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and water and rashes.
The rash is usually started with a flat red spot on the face 3-5 days after the first symptoms, and then spreads down the neck, trunk, arms, legs and feet. According to the CDC, when the rash appears, the heat of more than 104 degrees can be spike.
Most children recover from measles, but infections can lead to dangerous complications such as pneumonia, blindness, brain swelling and death.
How can we treat measles?
There is no specific treatment for measles, so doctors usually try to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and keep patients comfortable.
Why is the vaccination rate important?
In the community with high vaccination rates (more than 95%), diseases such as measles are difficult to spread through the community. This is called “immunity.”
However, since infectious diseases and more parents insist on religious or personal conscience exemptions to exempt their children from the essential shooting, the vaccination rate has been reduced.
In the United States, measles increased in 2024, including more than 60 people in Chicago.
