A hospital in Texas on Wednesday confirmed the death of an unvaccinated child who was infected with measles—the first fatality in a two-state measles outbreak that began in January, according to the Associated Press.

As of Feb. 20, there were a total of 93 measles cases reported in eight states: Alaska, California, Georgia, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island and Texas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For comparison, 285 cases were reported in the U.S. in 2024.
