Original Note:
Measles has never been eradicated in the United States. It was declared "eliminated" in 2000, meaning it's no longer constantly present in this country, though travelers bringing the virus into the country can lead to outbreaks. The number of cases in the US remains low. https://www.cdc.gov/measles/elimination.html https://www.cdc.gov/measles/cases-outbreaks.html
