💨 Abstract

Texas has not reported new cases of measles in nearly a month, signaling progress against a major U.S. outbreak. However, the threat persists with increasing cases and new outbreaks in other states. Over 1,356 measles cases have been confirmed this year—the highest in three decades—largely due to low vaccination rates and community clusters. Experts warn that the upcoming school year could exacerbate the spread, emphasizing the need to boost vaccination efforts.
