Summary

Texas is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in 30 years, with 90 reported cases, mostly among unvaccinated children and teenagers.

The outbreak is centered in Gaines County, where nearly 18% of students opted out of vaccinations. Officials warn of further spread, with cases already appearing in neighboring New Mexico.

The surge coincides with the confirmation of anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as national health secretary under Trump.

This has prompted concerns as the CDC halts some vaccine campaigns and postpones a vaccine-safety panel meeting.
