Cases of the highly contagious disease are expected to rise and potentially spread to other states where vaccination rates are low.
A measles outbreak spreading in Texas and New Mexico has sickened at least 99 people, with cases expected to rise amid a nationwide drop in vaccination rates.
Texas’ Department of State Health Services confirmed 90 cases as of Friday. That’s up from 48 cases a week earlier.
Of those 90 cases, 16 were hospitalized, the health department said, and with the exception of five people, all were either unvaccinated or their vaccination status unknown.
“Due to the highly contagious nature of this disease, additional cases are likely to occur in the outbreak area and the surrounding communities,” health officials said.
The highest number of cases, 57, were in Gaines County, which shares a boundary with Lea County, New Mexico.
