“Measles – because it is the most #contagious of the #vaccine-preventable #diseases, the most contagious human disease really – it is the first to come back.”

#Measles is a highly #contagious respiratory illness that can be life-threatening to anyone who is not protected against the #virus.

Doctors say the best way to protect against the #disease is with 2 doses of a #vaccine, which is usually administered to children as a combination measles-mumps-rubella, or #MMR, vaccine. 2 doses of the MMR vaccine prevent more than 97% of measles infections, acc/to #Texas #health ofcls.

🚨 #Measles outbreak in #Texas doubles—again 🚨 Cases have surged from 9 to 48 in just a week, spreading across four counties with low #vaccination rates in mostly #religious schools. Nearly 30% of cases require #hospitalization, mostly #children. Measles is highly #contagious and can lead to severe complications, including #pneumonia and long-term immune damage.

📢 Vaccination is key to stopping the spread.

This image shows a close-up of a person’s neck and lower face, covered in a red, blotchy rash characteristic of measles. The rash consists of small, raised red spots that are densely clustered, giving the skin an inflamed and irritated appearance. The person is wearing a light-colored shirt, and the background is blurred, likely indoors. Measles rashes typically start on the face and spread downward to the rest of the body. The disease is highly contagious and can cause serious complications, especially in children and those with weakened immune systems. This image visually highlights the impact of measles and underscores the importance of vaccination to prevent outbreaks.

For weeks, we've seen COVID infection rates at 1 in 136 are infected, 1 in 144 infected; today it's 1 in 64 are infected (& most don't know they're carriers). Daily infection rates in the USA are higher than they were during 73% of the pandemic (recently they were at 44%)!
