AUSTIN, Texas– A measles outbreak in Texas has led to 124 confirmed cases, the largest occurrence of the disease in the state in nearly 30 years. State health authorities have confirmed the outbreak is ongoing.

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has been monitoring the outbreak since it began in early 2025. The department is working with local health officials and healthcare providers to track the spread of the virus.

Health officials have linked the outbreak to a decrease in vaccination rates and vaccine hesitancy in some communities. Measles is highly contagious, and reduced vaccination coverage can lead to outbreaks.

The measles virus can remain active in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves a room, making it easier to spread in unvaccinated populations. Vaccination is considered the most effective way to prevent the spread of the disease.

Health authorities are urging the public to ensure their vaccinations are up to date. The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is the primary defense against the virus. Those who have not received the vaccine or are unsure of their vaccination status are advised to contact healthcare providers.

The outbreak has affected both urban and rural areas in Texas. Health officials are concerned about vulnerable populations, including infants and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Several school districts have reported cases among students, leading to school closures and quarantines. Schools are implementing measures, including enhanced sanitation and vaccination checks, to prevent further spread.

Healthcare facilities across the state are on alert and have protocols in place to identify and isolate suspected measles cases to prevent exposure.
