the number of people not vaccinating their children is growing.
I do not know the full set of statistics about any decline in vaccinations but here is a little anecdote.
Twenty-four years my younger sister got a bad case of the measles. None of the docs she saw in the DFW area could figure out what she had. We flew her home and my Uncle, a general practice physician knew it was the measles as soon as he saw her. The hospital (OLOL) let us go in to visit her (wearing masks of course) and we all got the measles as well. I missed 3 weeks of school during my final semester at LSU.
My point is that she had been vaccinated (we all had been vaccinated) but still ended up with the measles. I think that a stronger strain has developed and we will have to change the vaccine to compensate.

I had the measles as a child and as an adult and I was vaccinated.
