  • Three hundred and fifty-five cases have been reported in the ongoing measles outbreak in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma, but local officials say that it's an undercount and that the virus could continue to spread spread for months.

The measles outbreak in the United States has now exceeded 350 cases, with health officials warning that the numbers are likely to continue rising. This resurgence is largely attributed to declining vaccination rates, which have fallen below the necessary threshold for herd immunity in some communities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has noted that the majority of cases are linked to international travel, with outbreaks occurring in close-knit communities where vaccination coverage is low. Public health measures are being intensified, including vaccination drives and public awareness campaigns to curb the spread of this highly contagious disease. The situation underscores the importance of maintaining high vaccination rates to prevent such outbreaks.
