This paper analyzes the 2019 measles epidemic in the United States through a developed mathematical model. We simulated our model in MATLAB using differential equations and found that in vaccinated populations, viral spread was severely hindered when compared to populations that were unvaccinated. The lack of viral prevalence was backed up by the basic reproduction number being less than one (R0 = 0.03976).
