Health Update: Measles Outbreak in South Carolina

The South Carolina Department of Public Health has reported an increase in measles cases, with the total now reaching 185, up from 176 earlier this week. Of these cases, 172 involve individuals who have not received the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.

172 cases: Unvaccinated 4 cases: Partially vaccinated 4 cases: Unknown vaccination status 4 cases: Under investigation 1 case: Fully vaccinated

Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000. This status is primarily attributed to the widespread use of the MMR vaccine, first licensed in 1963 and later combined in 1971 to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella.

Despite the vaccine's availability, hesitancy contributes to the virus's spread. The CDC reports a decline in MMR vaccination rates among kindergarteners from 95.2% during the 2019-2020 school year to 92.7% in 2023-2024.

The present outbreak is concentrated in the northwestern region of South Carolina, predominantly affecting children under 17 years of age. The CDC estimates that measles has a high infection rate, with one individual capable of infecting nine out of every ten people they contact.

Health authorities recommend vaccinating children early, with the first dose administered before 15 months and the second by the age of six. The MMR vaccine is widely recognized as safe and effective in preventing the spread of measles.

2025: 2,065 reported cases 2024: 285 reported cases

The World Health Organization notes that there are approximately two to three deaths per 1,000 reported measles cases. Children are particularly at risk for complications, including fever, hearing or vision loss, and encephalitis.
