For the third week in a row, health officials added dozens of new reports to the year’s list of confirmed measles cases, bringing the total to 704 in 22 states — the highest number of reported US cases in a single year since 1994.
Nationwide there have been 13 outbreaks, six of which were in under-immunized close-knit religious or cultural communities, making up 88 percent of all the cases.
“Forty-four cases were directly imported from other countries, and 9 out of 10 of those individuals were in unvaccinated persons. All 40 were old enough to get vaccinated,” said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. The number of people sickened by the highly contagious, occasionally deadly disease has centered on outbreaks in New York state, including Rockland County and New York City where more than two-thirds of measles cases have occurred this year. California has also seen a recent uptick in measles cases.were ordered to stay home because they might have had contact this month with two measles patients.
