Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current global health landscape is marked by a resurgence of measles outbreaks in the US, which have reached the highest levels in years, indicating significant gaps in vaccination coverage and public health response. Concurrently, COVID-19 remains a concern with new variants under monitoring by the WHO and ongoing challenges in vaccine policy and public trust. The situation is compounded by misinformation and political interference in vaccine advisory processes, which could undermine public confidence in vaccination programs. These factors, combined with the emergence of other infectious threats like avian flu and MERS, underscore a moderate risk level that requires vigilant public health measures and international cooperation.
