West Texas Measles Outbreak Officially Over

The West Texas measles outbreak, affecting 762 people and resulting in two child deaths, has been officially declared over by health authorities.

This declaration came after a crucial 42-day period with no new reported cases in previously affected counties.

The outbreak significantly contributed to the highest number of US measles cases in over 30 years, raising serious concerns.

While the Texas outbreak's end provides temporary relief, ongoing cases across the nation emphasize the urgent need for widespread vaccination.
