Cuyahoga County Reports Three Child Measles Cases in One Unvaccinated Household

Officials tie the cases to holiday travel exposure, urging MMR vaccination to curb further spread.

Overview

  • Health officials identified one lab-confirmed case and two probable cases among children in the same home, with no city disclosed.
  • All household members have been evaluated by medical providers and are isolating under county oversight.
  • Authorities say the children were likely exposed during holiday travel, consistent with recent travel-linked introductions.
  • Ohio recorded 44 measles cases in 2025 before declaring that outbreak over in June, offering recent statewide context.
  • CDC data show kindergarten MMR completion fell to 92.7% in 2023–24, and experts link current U.S. surges to lagging vaccination and travel.
