An unvaccinated school-age child has died from measles in West Texas, according to Texas health officials. AAP President Susan Kressly said, “As a pediatrician, I am heartbroken to learn that a child has died from measles. This is a tragic and devastating loss, and our thoughts are with the family and community affected. One death from a preventable disease is one too many.” The measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine protects children from serious illness. However, when immunization rates drop in a community, measles can spread and put children at risk.

“No parent should have to experience the loss of a child to a preventable disease. Vaccines save lives. Pediatricians are here to talk with families about their child's health, including how they can access vaccines. We must support immunization programs so that children in every community get the opportunity to grow up healthy and strong,” said Dr. Kressly.

📣❗This is going to be a long post with lots of information but please take a minute to read through it carefully.
Public health officials are notifying residents of a confirmed measles case involving a person from Gaines County who visited multiple locations in Bexar, Comal and Hays counties, including two college campuses and the Buc-ee's Convenience Store in New Braunfels.
(See press release attached for dates and times the person was in our area.)

Measles is a highly contagious virus that spreads through the air and can linger for up to 2 hours after an infected person leaves.

🔴 Symptoms (7–21 days after exposure):
• High fever (104°F+)
• Cough, runny nose, red watery eyes
• Rash that spreads from head to toe

⚠️ Serious Complications: Pneumonia, brain swelling (encephalitis), and hospitalization—especially in young children.
