By Steven Richards Published: March 18, 2025 The ongoing measles outbreak along the Texas-New Mexico border is approaching 300 cases with more than 30 hospitalizations in Gaines County, Texas, and Lea County, New Mexico, according to state officials in both jurisdictions. The latest update from the Texas Department of State Health Services on Tuesday confirmed that 279 measles cases have been identified in the state since late January, connected to 36 hospitalizations. One fatality was reported in Texas last month, a school-aged child who was not vaccinated against the disease. Thirty-eight cases have been reported by the New Mexico Department of Health. Together, the cases in these two Southwestern states outstrip the total number of cases recorded in 2024. https://www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/measles-outbreak-2025
