The current measles outbreak in the U.S. may last a full year, a public health official in Texas recently warned.
As of April 4, nearly 610 measles infections have sickened people across 22 jurisdictions in the U.S. this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That's more than double the total number of measles cases reported for the whole of 2024. What's more, additional cases have been reported by various local jurisdictions but have yet to be confirmed by the CDC and added to its official count.
