A second child has died from measles in Texas, as the outbreak spreads across multiple states and cases surge nationwide.
Officials in Texas have confirmed the death of a second child from measles, as hundreds of cases of the disease have been reported in recent weeks.
The outbreak has prompted U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to visit the state.
This marks the third known measles-related death linked to the outbreak — one involved another school-aged child in Texas, and the other was an adult in New Mexico. Neither had been vaccinated.
Nationwide, the U.S. has already recorded more than twice the number of measles cases seen throughout all of 2024.
More than two months into the outbreak, the spread from West Texas is believed to have reached New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas, infecting nearly 570 people.
