🚨Urgent CDC analyses on seasonal flu, bird flu in cats & in wastewater have been stalled. And CDC has stopped contributing flu data to global platforms, says WHO. “Delays in data create dangerous situations on the front line.” My latest @KFFHealthNews https://t.co/v9WaVOZ1FL

🚨At least 14 people have been hospitalized in a measles outbreak in an undervaccinated part of Texas. 24 cases so far, mainly children. Health officials worry some parents might not seek care for their kids. Dangerous & means this will keep spreading. https://t.co/NIT6j8JYpf

Update: This measles outbreak has grown to 14 cases & 6 probable cases pending confirmation. Some children have been hospitalized.

A measles outbreak is growing in a Texas county with dangerously low vaccination rates. Public health practitioners warn such outbreaks will become more common because of scores of laws around the U.S. that ultimately lower vaccine rates. 📝: @amymaxmen https://t.co/s5zhETLIXj
