Dallas County targets low vaccination schools to prevent measles

Dallas County is focusing on schools with low vaccination rates to prevent a measles outbreak. The county plans to hold vaccination clinics at these schools and encourages parents to vaccinate their children through local health services. Currently, Texas has 259 confirmed measles cases, the highest in over 30 years, with one unvaccinated child reported dead. No cases have been reported in Dallas County. Judge Clay Jenkins expressed concern about potential federal funding cuts affecting the response to the outbreak. He noted that local and state health officials are currently collaborating effectively to manage the situation.
