The Texas cases are largely in children. Sixteen cases have been hospitalized.

Summary

Texas is grappling with a 90-case measles outbreak across seven counties, centered in Gaines County with low vaccination rates.

Another nine cases have cropped up in nearby Lea County, New Mexico, though no direct connection has been established.

Most cases are unvaccinated children under 18. Measles, among the most contagious viruses, can lead to high fevers, rash, pneumonia, and even fatalities.

Officials warn the outbreak could grow as vaccine-preventable coverage remains low.
