U.S. CDC: Expanding Measles Outbreak in Texas and New Mexico and Guidance for the Upcoming Travel Season
Please take a moment to review this update on measles activity in the United States, information on measles prevention, and response guidance for the upcoming travel season. A large measles outbreak is ongoing in Texas and New Mexico. Smaller outbreaks have been reported in New Jersey and Georgia, and there are other cases in several additional states. No measles cases have been reported in Maine in 2025; the most recent case was in 2019. Of particular concern is the outbreak in Texas/New Mexico, where measles is circulating in a close-knit community with low vaccination coverage.
