Texas experienced a significant 36% rise in vaccine exemption requests compared to last year, with over 17,000 exemption forms requested, potentially affecting more than 30,000 children.

This surge resulted from a new law allowing parents to download exemption forms online, simplifying the process which previously required mail requests.

The increase follows Texas declaring an end to a major measles outbreak that caused over 700 confirmed cases and two deaths.

Public health officials worry that easier access to exemptions alongside reduced vaccination rates could increase the risk of future outbreaks, especially in schools where children gather closely.

Vaccination rates in some areas of Texas remain below the recommended level necessary to maintain community immunity, raising concerns about the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases. Additionally, federal funding cuts have made outreach and education efforts more challenging.

Health experts and local leaders urge parents to consider the importance of vaccinations for their children and the broader community. Officials continue monitoring the situation closely, working to balance individual rights with protecting public health.
