The #measles outbreak in #Texas has grown to at least 90 cases,
reaching historic levels, according to officials.
Since late January, 90 cases of measles have been identified in the South Plains region. At least 16 patients have been hospitalized as a result.
The majority of reported measles cases were in children and teenagers -- minors between the ages of five and 17 accounted for 51 cases.
Children under four made up 26 cases.
Most patients’ parents either had chosen to not immunize them against the highly contagious illness or their vaccination status was unknown
