A measles outbreak in Texas has grown to include 327 people. Nearly all cases are in unvaccinated individuals or those with unknown vaccination status, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). At least 40 people have been hospitalized so far.
Two unvaccinated people have died of measles since the outbreak. Only two of the cases have occurred in fully vaccinated people with the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine, according to the data.
“Due to the highly contagious nature of this disease, additional cases are likely to occur in the outbreak area and the surrounding communities. DSHS is working with local health departments to investigate the outbreak,” the department said in a press release.
