like Measles case In West Texas, it is still increasing two months after the onset of the onset. Virus that keeps spreading The official case number is likely to be a dark calculation for at least a few months.
But officials say they have silver lining. More people in Texas and New Mexico this year have been vaccinated for measles, pandemic, and rubella, and have occurred compared to last year. In the United States, especially Texas pharmacy, there is a growing demand for MMR shots.
As of Friday Texas The number of cases in New Mexico was up to 309 cases, measles, up to 42 people, and one measles related to measles. 42 people were hospitalized over two weeks.
According to the study, Catherine Wells, the head of Public Health, Lubbock, said that Texas’s outbreak in the Meno Night community, which has spread greatly in the Mino Knight community in the Mino Knight community, has previously had measles in the Amish community in the United States. It said it lasted for months. LubBock’s hospitals have treated most patients, and the Ministry of Public Health closely supports the response.
Wells said in a media briefing this week, “This is a country, now multinational, more boots, and much more.”
The outbreak includes 14 Texas County, two new Mexican counties and four possible cases in Oklahoma, and the first two health officials are “related to the onset of West Texas and New Mexico.”
Measles are one of the most infectious diseases in the world. Justin Lessler, a epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina’s Gillings School of Global Public Health, said it could be particularly difficult to spread, it could be difficult to spread, and it could be difficult to develop.
Many people are unconsciously spreading measles viruses for several days before the Telltale rash appears. The virus can hang in the air for up to two hours after a sick person leaves the room.
Lessler said, “It would be perfectly reasonable to think of another month a few months before work disappears in this community.
Dr. William Moss, a pediatric epidemic expert at Johns Hopkins University and an expert in pediatric infectious diseases at the International Vaccine Access Center, said the US virus infection would end 12 months without local virus infection.
“We only have only three months. If we have a strong response if we have a strong reaction if we have a measles vaccination that measles can stop this outbreak, we will be surprised if we have been over 12 months.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The US Minister of Health and Welfare has been used safely for more than 60 years and has questioned about 97% effective measles vaccines after taking twice. Kennedy in an interview with FOX News last week The MMR shot adds that it causes “death” every year, but later encourages vaccinations.
Vaccination increases in Texas and New Mexico.
Nevertheless, there are signs of vaccination, especially local influence.
Between February 1 and March 18 last year, the New Mexico Ministry of Health has registered 6,500 measles vaccines. During that year, more than 11,600 measles vaccines were implemented in New Mexico. About half was given to adults and half to children.
The southeastern New Mexico, where the onset is located, occupies a large portion of the number, administering 2,369 doses.
According to the State Health Bureau, at least 173,000 measles were provided in Texas from January 1 to March 16, and at least 158,000 people were provided compared to at least 158,000 people during the same period last year. This includes more than 340 times by public health in the departure area of West Texas as of March 11.
A spokesman for Lara Anton said Texans could not capture most people’s vaccinations in the Texas health service number.
Anton said, “We do not know whether more people are choosing, whether this reflects the increase in vaccinations, or if this is a true reflection.”
Pharmacy Chain Walgreens and CVS have said that the demand for MMR vaccines is high in the US, especially in the US, especially in the US.
Texas health officials say they want to see more intake in the community at the epicenter of the onset, especially in Gainz County. Much lower than the 95% level necessary to prevent the spread of the community Small religious school and home schooling group Where the initial case was confirmed.
Prasad Ganji is a pharmacist in Seminole, the largest city in Gaines County. He said he ordered a 10 -time capacity box of MMR vaccine as the case began to spread.
He can give vaccines to people over 14 years old. But he still has a dose.
Wells said, “The absorption of the vaccine was definitely difficult.
