A national surge of measles cases has health officials concerned about possible widespread outbreaks of the highly infectious disease.
As of May 3, there have been 764 cases of measles reported in the United States — the highest number of annual cases reported in 25 years. In Texas, there have been 15 cases of measles since the start of the year, according to the Texas Department of Health and Human Services.
A new study released by the University of Texas at Austin Friday predicts 25 counties in the United States have a higher risk for a potential outbreak based on a combination of low vaccine rates and high international travel.
In Texas, Travis, Harris, Tarrant and Bexar Counties all make that high-risk list. This aligns with a January study that included Austin, Houston, Fort Worth and Plano on a list of 14 U.S. cities that are hotspots for high non-medical vaccine exemption rates.

Surprised lib kxan published this. Hope this catches on around the nation.
Oh look.
Another socialist diatribe written by and for only those who wish to have the consequences of the illegal swarm blamed on American Freedom.
They do seem to garner converts.
Hey! These counties all voted blue democraps!
And they all have large numbers of illegal aliens!
“high international travel” sounds like a vague PC phrase that includes all travelers from everywhere, good and bad-terrorists who sneak in and plan jihad, mojados from Central American countries and Mexico smuggled here by cartels/coyotes, “refugees” from s***hole countries in Africa, etc-bringing measles, Typhus, antibiotic resistant TB and whatever else flourishes there...
“low vaccine rates and high international travel”
Could it be “illegal aliens”?
Naaaaah
Measles is rarely fatal.
Vaccines will not protect the U.S.poulation from diseases coming in from abroad.
“high international travel”
Here in northern Virginia, a guy from an unreported country landed at Dulles, went home to Haymarket, and ended up in the emergency room in another place. I expect a huge outbreak among the illegals here.
Bexar was 33 of 50. Tarrant wax 22 of 50
Plano, collin county was not on list
Yup. Diseased foreigners are exempt from any blame.
He evil vaccine i industry is at it again!
Pure evil
Kills maims destroys lives
Do gooders. From hell
Nor from a case of Measles brought on by the Vaccine.
Most objections come from the Fetal Cells and the Weed Killer used in the vaccines.
I want to see the Graphs on the Side Effects and Deaths from such vaccines. When my boys got their they got MMR drops. Not this 2 shot vaccine.
