 More than 150 unvaccinated South Carolina students quarantined after measles exposure

At least 153 students from two schools in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, have been placed under a 21-day quarantine following confirmed measles exposures, according to state health officials. The students, all unvaccinated, attended Global Academy of South Carolina and Fairforest Elementary School, where the latest cases have contributed to an expanding outbreak that has now reached eight confirmed infections. In total, South Carolina has reported 11 measles cases so far this year, marking one of the highest figures the state has seen in decades.

Across the U.S., measles cases have surged, with at least 1,563 infections reported this year—the largest number since 1992. Federal health data show 44 outbreaks have been recorded nationwide in 2025, a sharp increase from 16 last year. The spike coincides with a decline in MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccination rates among children. Before the pandemic, more than 95% of kindergarteners were immunized, but that number has since fallen to 92.5%, leaving an estimated 286,000 young children unprotected against the highly contagious disease.
