Summary

Mr. Thierry Frappé questions the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities about the sharp increase in the number of measles cases in France revealed by the annual report of the disease published on May 18, 2026 by Public Health France. France reported 873 cases of measles in 2025, including 128 imported, an increase of 80% compared to 2024. More than 300 cases were hospitalized and seven deaths were reported. reporteds. 60.3% of cases reported in 2025 concerned unvaccinated or partially vaccinated individuals and 116 epidemiologically linked outbreaks were recorded in the territory, including 30 outbreaks with five or more cases. The median age of these cases was 16.7 years and adolescents aged 15 to 19 accounted for the highest share at 12% of cases, showing that measles no longer only affects young children. Faced with this observation, Public Health France calls for strengthening vaccination catch-up efforts, particularly for adolescents and young adults, and suggests combining the MMR vaccine with existing campaigns in colleges. He asks him to specify what concrete actions the Government plans to implement to achieve the 95% vaccination coverage rate necessary to eradicate the disease, if it is planned to organize a national vaccination catch-up campaign aimed at adolescents and how the Government intends to fight against vaccine mistrust, which constitutes the source of this reappearance.
