Texas’ measles outbreak is nation’s largest since 2000
- Texas experienced the largest measles outbreak since 2000, with over 700 cases reported since late January 2025, mainly centered in West Texas.
- The outbreak spread primarily among Mennonite communities with low vaccination rates, while anti-vaccine sentiment caused some Texas areas to fall below the 95% herd immunity threshold.
- Gaines County accounted for more than half the cases with 403 reported, while new cases have recently slowed, including seven new cases on May 9, mostly in El Paso County and one in Lamar County.
- Authorities confirmed 92 hospitalizations and two measles-related deaths involving unvaccinated school-aged children without underlying conditions; officials emphasized vaccination as the most effective prevention method.
- Experts warn Texas could set new outbreak records by summer 2025 if spread continues but stress rapid vaccination can stop the outbreak and reduce measles complications.
