Flipboard Science Desk<p>Newborn babies have been exposed to measles at a Texas hospital and are receiving antibodies to protect them, NBC reports. The virus was brought into the University Medical Center Children's Hospital by a mother in labor — doctors didn't realize until after her admission that she was infected, and it's unclear when she tested positive. The immunoglobulin injections have been given to babies as young as three days old. A 2021 study found this therapy is highly effective in protecting exposed newborns who are too young to be vaccinated. Emergency masking procedures have also been implemented. </p><p><a href="https://flip.it/0.ZRbx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/0.ZRbx</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/MeaslesOutbreak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MeaslesOutbreak</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Health</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicine</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Vaccination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vaccination</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Texas</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Children</span></a></p>
Houston Public Media<p>Almost five years ago, the COVID-19 pandemic shut down Houston's annual rodeo. Now, as vaccination rates have since declined in the region and across the state, a measles outbreak is budding in Texas as this year’s rodeo is set to start.</p><p><a href="https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/health-science/2025/02/25/514727/west-texas-measles-outbreak-grows-as-vaccine-rates-in-harris-county-statewide-dip/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">houstonpublicmedia.org/article</span><span class="invisible">s/news/health-science/2025/02/25/514727/west-texas-measles-outbreak-grows-as-vaccine-rates-in-harris-county-statewide-dip/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HarrisCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HarrisCounty</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HealthScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HealthScience</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Healthcare</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Houston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Houston</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HoustonMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HoustonMatters</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Local" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Local</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MedicineWellness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MedicineWellness</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Texas</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Measles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Measles</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MeaslesOutbreak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MeaslesOutbreak</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VaccinationRates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VaccinationRates</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Vaccine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vaccine</span></a></p>
