Measles Cases Surpass 300 In Texas, New Mexico: Here’s What You Should Know

Measles outbreaks in West Texas and New Mexico have reached nearly 320 cases, with two unvaccinated individuals succumbing to measles-related complications.

Measles is a highly contagious airborne virus that spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or breathes. Vaccination remains the most effective preventive measure, and the U.S. declared measles eliminated in 2000.

As of Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported over 2024 confirmed measles cases nationwide. The CDC defines an outbreak as three or more related cases, and there were three such clusters in 2025.

In Texas, there have been 279 measles cases across 11 counties, mostly in West Texas, with two additional hospitalizations. New Mexico reported 38 cases, mainly in Lea County, with two hospitalizations, while Oklahoma confirmed two probable cases linked to the West Texas and New Mexico outbreaks.

Measles cases have also been reported in several other states, including Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

To combat measles, the CDC recommends the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine for children between 12-15 months and 4-6 years. Adults with high infection risk or outdated vaccinations may consider boosters during outbreaks.

Measles symptoms include fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and a rash. While most individuals recover, measles can lead to severe complications like pneumonia, blindness, brain swelling, and death.

There is no specific treatment for measles, and healthcare providers focus on symptom management and preventing complications. Maintaining high vaccination rates is crucial to prevent measles outbreaks and protect vulnerable populations.
