Measles outbreaks have been reported in multiple U.S. states, with the largest centered in west Texas and spreading to other areas. Health officials warn the highly contagious virus can cause serious complications, including pneumonia, brain inflammation, hospitalization, and death. Most reported cases are linked to local transmission rather than international travel.

Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have stressed that vaccinations remain the most effective way to prevent outbreaks, protect vulnerable populations, and maintain the country's measles elimination status.
