The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning public health officials of a rise in measles cases both in the U.S. and internationally.
Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"Among the 58 cases reported in 2024, 54 (93%) were linked to international travel," the CDC continued, adding that, "Many countries, including travel destinations such as Austria, the Philippines, Romania, and the United Kingdom, are experiencing measles outbreaks."
The health agency said most cases reported in the U.S. this year have been among children aged 12 months and older who have not yet received the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine.
