麻疹的爆发在全球急剧上升,由于疫苗接种工作和资金的削弱,进展受到威胁。 Measles outbreaks are surging globally, threatening progress due to weakened vaccination efforts and funding.

全球麻疹病例急剧上升,扭转了数十年的进展,有59个国家报告说,2024年爆发了大规模麻疹病例,几乎是2021年的三倍,其中包括美国和加拿大,这两个国家有可能失去消灭麻疹的地位。 Global measles cases are rising sharply, reversing decades of progress, with 59 countries reporting major outbreaks in 2024—nearly triple the number in 2021—including the U.S. and Canada, which are at risk of losing their elimination status. 尽管2000年以来麻疹死亡率下降了88%,估计挽救了5 800万人的生命,但全球只有84%的儿童接种了第一剂疫苗,76%的儿童接种了第二剂疫苗,使3 000多万儿童得不到保护。 Despite an 88% drop in measles deaths since 2000, saving an estimated 58 million lives, only 84% of children received the first vaccine dose and 76% the second globally, leaving over 30 million underprotected. 世卫组织将这种激增归因于免疫系统削弱、大流行病中断、错误信息以及全球供资,特别是来自美国的资金减少。 The WHO attributes the surge to weakened immunization systems, pandemic disruptions, misinformation, and declining global funding, especially from the U.S. 麻疹是最传染性最强的病毒,是较广泛的卫生系统失败的警示信号,专家们强调,使用安全、低成本的疫苗可以预防每例死亡。 Measles, the most contagious virus known, acts as a warning sign of broader health system failures, with experts stressing that every death is preventable with a safe, low-cost vaccine.
