- Texas health officials reported 753 confirmed measles cases as of Tuesday, with the outbreak centered in West Texas since late January.
- Although measles was declared eradicated in the United States over two decades ago, this outbreak occurred and spread largely because many of those infected were either unvaccinated or had unknown vaccination status.
- Gaines and Lamar counties remain designated outbreak areas, and recent new cases include the first confirmed infection in Bexar County linked to the West Texas outbreak.
- As of 2025, the CDC has verified 1,227 measles cases in the U.S., including three fatalities. Metro Health Director Claude Jacob reported that after investigating a single case, there was no indication of public exposure or any immediate threat to the local population.
- Officials have hospitalized 99 patients and urge vaccination, emphasizing two recommended doses for children and noting the vaccine provides 97% protection against measles.
