A growing measles outbreak in New Mexico has resulted in a second death, with authorities confirming that an unvaccinated resident tested positive for the virus after dying. The outbreak, which is connected to rising case numbers near the Texas border, has led to proactive measures by the New Mexico Department of Health, including the launch of a dedicated web resource and a helpline. The outbreak has raised concerns about low vaccination coverage in areas such as Taos County, where the risk remains high. Currently, nine measles cases have been reported in Lea County, where another resident tested positive after death. The health department continues to monitor the situation as investigations into possible measles-related deaths are underway.
