One fatality is presently being investigated, and two measles-related deaths have been verified thus far this year.
In March, one unvaccinated child in Texas passed away, and another measles death was reported in the South Plains region of the state.
According to the CDC, an unvaccinated “school-aged child” who tested positive for measles was admitted to a Lubbock hospital and died in early April from what the child’s physicians characterized as “measles pulmonary failure.”
According to NM Health, a patient in Lea County, New Mexico, tested positive for measles after passing away, prompting an investigation into another death.
What’s the difference between now and 2024?
