HOUSTON, Texas– A measles outbreak in Texas has led to over 300 confirmed cases since late January, with at least 40 individuals hospitalized and one child dead, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Health officials have declared the outbreak a public health concern and are urging increased vaccination efforts to contain the spread of the disease.

The child who died from measles complications was unvaccinated, health officials confirmed.

The child’s parents, despite their loss, remain opposed to vaccinations.

Measles spreads through respiratory droplets from coughs and sneezes, making it highly contagious.

Symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose, and a red rash, with potential complications such as pneumonia and brain swelling.

Health experts stress that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is highly effective in preventing infections.

State and local health departments have launched vaccination clinics to increase access to the MMR vaccine.

Officials are collaborating with schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations to promote vaccination and public education on the disease.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to recommend the MMR vaccine as the best defense against measles.

Public health authorities warn that vaccine hesitancy and misinformation present challenges in containing the outbreak. Efforts to control the spread are ongoing as officials work to prevent further cases and protect public health.
