Measles Hits 3 More States In 2025 – Get Your Vaccines, Folks!

Hold up, y’all. Just when we thought we were done with measles, three more states in the U.S. are reporting their first cases of 2025. Yep, you heard that right – measles, making a comeback like it’s 2019. Michigan, New Mexico, and another state (we’re looking at you, mystery state) are all jumping on the measles bandwagon. Can we get a collective “Yikes”?

Here’s the tea: Measles cases are on the rise this year, with over 800 cases across 25 states. If you’re keeping track, that’s way more than last year’s 285 cases. Experts are saying the spike is mostly due to unvaccinated folks spreading the love—only 4% of the cases are people who got their shots. The rest? Nope, they’re skipping out on that MMR vaccine like it’s a bad dating app match.

So what’s going on in these states? Well, Michigan’s been hit with its first measles outbreak in years. Three cases popped up in Montcalm County – and that’s just the beginning. Over in New Mexico, a teenager in Lea County is the first to test positive for 2025. It’s not looking great, people.

But don’t freak out too much, because there’s a simple solution: the MMR vaccine. It’s 97% effective, folks. It’ll keep you safe and keep measles out of your life. If you haven’t gotten your shot, now’s the time. Seriously. Just do it.

We get it – vaccines can be a touchy subject, but the facts don’t lie. If you don’t want to be part of the problem (or worse, catch a disease that could totally mess with your plans), hit up your doctor and get the jab. Your future self will thank you.
