Sixteen people have been hospitalized, the department said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The cases come amid growing concerns by public health experts about declining vaccination rates and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/13\/us\/rfk-jr-hhs-senate-confirmation.html\" title=\"\">the confirmation of Robert F.

In only five of the 90 cases were patients vaccinated against measles. The rest were unvaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status, the department said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nmhealth.org\/about\/erd\/ideb\/mog\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">New Mexico Department of Health said<\/a> that, as of Thursday, it had identified nine cases of measles in Lea County, which shares a border with the outbreak region in Texas.

Local health departments have expanded vaccination clinics and testing hubs to try to stem the cases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Free walk-in vaccinations were being offered in Seminole in Gaines County, as well as in Lea County, N.M.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Children must receive the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine to attend public schools in Texas, though exemptions can be granted for \u201creasons of conscience.\u201d But Gaines County had one of the highest exemption rates in the state last year, with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dshs.texas.gov\/immunizations\/data\/school\/conscientious-exemptions\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">more than 13 percent<\/a> of K-12 students exempted from receiving the vaccine, according to state data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The vaccination rate in the county for kindergarten students who received the M.M.R. vaccine last year was 82 percent, about 10 points lower than the state average for Texas public schools.
