Abstract

Measles outbreaks have increased globally following the COVID-19 pandemic. We combine multiple data sets on global measles incidence, air travels, and vaccinations to assess the risk of travel-related importation and subsequent dissemination of measles in the United States in 2024, and identify months and states with higher measles outbreak risks.
