"At least 3% of measles cases confirmed so far this year have been in people who received two doses of the measles vaccine, meaning they were fully vaccinated."
"Texas has seen a deadly outbreak of the highly contagious virus this year. While cases there have recently slowed, the CDC indicates that outbreaks are being tracked across the U.S."
The CDC reports that several measles infections this year involve individuals who were fully vaccinated, with 3% of cases in people who received two doses of the vaccine. Texas is experiencing a notable outbreak, having confirmed 21 cases, all in young children. Although prior cases did not require hospitalization, they highlight gaps in immunity, urging the need for timely vaccination, particularly post-exposure. The CDC emphasizes vaccines' potential effectiveness if administered shortly after exposure, while authorities continue to monitor outbreaks linked to travel.
