Measles deaths are a rare occurrence due to widespread vaccination. However, declining vaccination rates and rising global cases may lead to an increase in deaths. Experts warn that the death toll from measles could continue to grow.

A significant number of measles deaths in a single year has not been seen in decades. The last time at least four deaths occurred was in 1992. Recently, there have been multiple deaths, including a fourth person in a particular state.
