Measles Outbreak 2025

Last updated 08/19/2025

On 8/18/25 the Public Health department declared that the Texas Measles Outbreak is officially over. If your child will be traveling internationally or to an area experiencing a Measles outbreak between 6 and 12 months of life we still recommend your child get an additional MMR vaccine prior to the 12 month Well Visit. If your child will not have these risk factors then an early extra dose of MMR vaccine is not recommended.
