Texas reported 90 cases this week, while New Mexico reported nine. A majority of the cases have been in a Texas county where vaccination rates have lagged behind the rest of the state.
In Texas, a majority of the cases have been concentrated in Gaines County, a farming area close to the New Mexico border. 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.
Yep. Do note that if you got vaccinated before 1989, you might need a booster; the standard used to be only one dose of the vaccine, which turns out to sometimes wear off after age 40. There’s a blood test you can get to see if you’re still protected.

As a New Mexican, I think I will do that before I am unable to get vaccinated again.
