CBS News reported that it has been tracking a record number of measles cases and outbreaks around the country in 2026. The outlet's report presents the figures in maps and charts, according to its headline and summary.

According to CBS News, the majority of the cases are among people who have not been vaccinated. The summary states this finding but does not give a total count of cases or outbreaks, so overall figures are not reported here.

CBS News described its tracking as covering both cases and outbreaks, and the summary does not break either measure down by state or region. It also does not explain how the data were gathered or when the figures were last updated.

According to the summary, the tracking covers 2026 and the country at large. Nothing in it compares this year's totals with those of earlier years, and it does not describe the methods behind the maps and charts.

The summary names no author for the report. Totals, outbreak locations, and any earlier-year comparisons appear, if at all, in the maps and charts of the full CBS News report, which the summary did not reproduce. The summary also does not state whether the figures are preliminary, so that point is not addressed here.

In sum, CBS News reports a record number of measles cases and outbreaks in the United States this year, with most cases among people who have not been vaccinated, as presented through maps and charts.
