Texas declares state's measles outbreak over
State health officials said Monday that Texas' measles outbreak, which sickened 762 people and took the lives of at least two, is officially over. In a statement, the Texas Department of Health and Human Services (DSHS) said it’s been 42 days since officials recorded a new measles case, passing the threshold public health officials use to declare that measles outbreaks have run their course. “I want to highlight the tireless work of the public health professionals across the state who contributed to the containment of one of the most contagious viruses,” DSHS Commissioner Jennifer Shuford said in a statement.
