Pooja Salhotra reports:
The West Texas outbreak has sickened 481 people, most of whom are unvaccinated children, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
The outbreak began in Gaines County, located about 90 minutes southwest of Lubbock on the New Mexico border. Since then, cases have been reported in 18 other Texas counties. And the Center for Disease Control has linked measles cases in Oklahoma with the Texas outbreak.
Measles is a highly contagious virus that spreads through respiratory droplets passed through the air by breathing, coughing and sneezing. Vaccination is the safest way to build immunity to the virus. [emphasis added]
