The measles outbreak in Texas is over. That’s according to the Department of State Health Services who said it’s been more than 42 days since a new case was reported.
The outbreak started in a West Texas community that has the lowest vaccination rates in the state. There were 762 cases since late January. More than two-thirds were in children.
A total of 99-people were hospitalized and there were two deaths. A third death in neighboring New Mexico has also been linked to the Texas outbreak.
