A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on April 24 showed that at the current measles vaccination rate in the U.S., more than 850,000 new measles cases may occur in the U.S. in the next 25 years, and measles may resurge.
A team led by researchers at Stanford University used a model to assess the spread of vaccine-preventable infectious diseases in the U.S., and predicted the infection rate and number of infectious diseases, including measles, rubella, polio and diphtheria, under different vaccination rates in the next 25 years.
The model predicts that at the current state-level vaccination rate, the U.S. is expected to have 851,300 new measles cases in the next 25 years; if the vaccination rate drops by 10%, it is expected that the number of new measles cases in this period will reach 11.1 million; if the vaccination rate increases by 5%, it is expected that only 5,800 new measles cases will occur in this period.
