USA, Mexico and Guatemala may lose measles-free status
Experts from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) met in Washington to decide whether the USA, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru and Bolivia will retain their measles-free status. The USA has held this status since, but since January has recorded its largest and deadliest outbreak in nearly 30 years. Across the Americas between January and October 2026, over 57,000 measles cases were confirmed in 17 countries. Canada lost its measles elimination status in November of last year.
