  The measles outbreak in Texas has quickly grown to 146 cases. One child has died. NBC News answers readers' questions about the disease, vaccines and government response.

The article from MSN discusses the growing measles outbreak in Texas, highlighting the importance of understanding the disease, its symptoms, and the critical role of vaccinations. Measles, a highly contagious viral infection, has seen a resurgence with cases reported in Texas, particularly in areas with lower vaccination rates. The outbreak has raised concerns about vaccine hesitancy, fueled by misinformation and myths about vaccine safety. Health officials are urging the public to get vaccinated, emphasizing that the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella) is safe, effective, and essential for preventing outbreaks. The article outlines symptoms of measles which include high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a distinctive rash. It also covers the public health response, including contact tracing, quarantine measures for those exposed, and efforts to increase vaccination rates through education and outreach programs. The piece stresses the need for community immunity to protect vulnerable populations like infants, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals who cannot receive the vaccine.
