“At least 308 US #measles cases so far this year, marking the most infections reported nationwide in a single year since a record 2019 wave.
More than 90% of the cases have been from a growing outbreak in TX and neighboring NM – totaling at least 284 measles infections in the CDC data.
2 additional "probable" cases linked to the outbreak in OK have so far not been added to the CDC tally”
