Robert F. said. Kennedy Junior, the best health official in the country and vaccine, on Wednesday that the US Department of Health and Humanitarian Services is watching issues and rejected the outbreak of Texas as “unusual”.

Nixon said that the federal government provides vaccines, technical support and a laboratory in West Texas, but the Ministry of Health is leading the response.

Lara Anton, a spokesman for the Ministry of Governmental Health, said that the virus has spread to a large extent among the rural cities movable in the oil in West Texas, where the cases were concentrated in the “interconnected, interconnected” community.

“The state will spread all the resources necessary to ensure the safety and health of Texas,” said the child spokesman
Later on Wednesday, the Ministry of Governmental Health confirmed the new measles case in Rocoual Province, east of Dallas. The person traveled internationally and is not related to West Texas outbreaks.
The vaccines are safe and effective, and the measles were considered to be eliminated once
Measles, mumps and adhesive designed are very safe and effective in preventing infection and severe conditions. The first shot is recommended for children between the ages of 12 and 15 months, and the second for ages of 4 to 6 years.
The vaccine chain is required for children before entering kindergarten in public schools worldwide. Most children will recover from measles, but the infection can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, blindness, brain swelling and death.
Vaccination rates have decreased in the country since the Covid-19s, and most of the states are 95 % lower than the pharmacy doorstep for kindergarten-the level needed to protect societies from measles spread.
Last week, Kennedy pledged to investigate the childhood vaccine schedule that prevents measles, polio and other dangerous diseases, despite his promises not to change it during confirmation sessions.
The United States looked at measles – the respiratory virus that can stay in the air for up to two hours – in 2000, which means that it may stop the continuous spread of the disease for at least a year. Measles increased in 2024, including Chicago’s outbreak, which fell ill more than 60.
Catherine Wales, director of the local Ministry of Health, describing it as witnessing the extent of the spread of viruses, said that the first Lubok case was in an unpopular child who sat in the emergency room with a measles child.
“When you see it in real life, you really realize how much it is intended,” Wales said, noting that she expects more local cases, with a couple under investigation until Wednesday. “The entire family gets quickly. Families are entirely sick with measles.”
