Summary

New Mexico has reported 30 measles cases, a sharp rise from 10 previously, following the second U.S. measles-related death in over a decade.

All cases are in Lea County, near a Texas outbreak with over 100 cases and one fatality in an unvaccinated child.

The deceased New Mexico resident, also unvaccinated, did not seek medical care. The outbreak includes both children and adults, posing a major public health challenge.

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a known vaccine skeptic, faces scrutiny amid the crisis.
