A West Texas measles outbreak, tied to low Mennonite vaccination rates, caused 762 cases and widespread school absences due to quarantines.
A measles outbreak in West Texas, linked to low vaccination rates in Mennonite communities, caused 762 confirmed cases and 182 potential cases, leading to a 41% spike in school absences—far exceeding confirmed infections—due to quarantine rules.
Unvaccinated or exposed students were required to stay home for up to 21 days, disrupting education and straining teachers.
The outbreak, the worst in over 35 years, highlighted the impact of vaccine hesitancy, which has risen amid distrust in government and health officials, particularly in communities with longstanding religious objections to vaccines.
