Measles Outbreak in Texas Escalates Amid Concerns Over Vaccination Rates

A significant measles outbreak in Texas has reached alarming proportions, with reported cases climbing to at least 58, the highest number in over 30 years. The outbreak, which has now spread to neighboring New Mexico, has primarily affected children and unvaccinated individuals, raising serious public health concerns. Experts warn that the actual number of cases could be much higher due to underreporting and emphasize that the situation is a direct consequence of declining vaccination rates. Health officials are actively monitoring the situation and urging residents to adhere to vaccination guidelines to prevent further spread of the disease.
