Measles cases surging as spring break approaches

The U.S. is facing a significant measles resurgence in early 2026, with over 1,100 confirmed cases across 28 states. Public health officials are issuing urgent warnings ahead of Spring Break, as high travel volume and declining vaccination rates create a "perfect storm" for further outbreaks. A second case was recently confirmed in Georgia, prompting the Department of Public Health to monitor potential exposures in the Savannah area. Experts at HealthBeat are warning families to verify their vaccination status before the upcoming spring break travel season.
