PAHO's Situation Report #10 reports 51,027 confirmed measles cases and 55 deaths in 17 countries and territories in epidemiological weeks 1-33 of 2026 (to 22 August), led by Guatemala, Mexico, the US and Canada.

PAHO's Regional Verification Commission will decide in November 2026 whether the United States and Mexico, each a year into sustained measles transmission, keep their elimination status; Canada and the Americas region already lost theirs in November 2025.

PAHO and every country and territory in the Americas mark their 25th Vaccination Week at the end of April 2027, the yearly push to catch up children and adults on vaccines as measles spreads across the region.
